Fox News Tells AP Not To Use Clips From GOP Debate; AP Apparently Unfamiliar With Fair Use
from the no-surprise dept
The Associated Press has a history that suggests it doesn't like fair use, even though its reporters and staff rely on it constantly. Yet, perhaps the AP is finally putting its money where its mouth is and will no longer rely on fair use at all. As Tim Lee points out, in this video clip the AP put together of the GOP presidential candidates' debate, there is no footage of the actual debate shown, and the AP says (at about 28 seconds) that "Fox News Channel did not allow AP to select excerpts of the debate for use in this online video story."Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Fox news actually removed the results of the opinion poll after the debate which showed the results heavily in his favor.

Propaganda
Well, you have two copyright-maximalist organizations, who want to eliminate fair use. Why not pretend it doesn't exist, so as to convince anyone watching that it doesn't exist?
There is a word for this: propaganda.

Re: Re: Donnicaton
They want to shape the news... not report it. This has become a problem in mainstream news on-line comments also. They (media "moderators") are "censuring" in the name of moderation and when someone doesn't like a comment, even when it makes sense, is reasonably argued and contains no names or profanity...it is "flagged" and it is removed quickly.
I'm banned on Bloomberg, PBS, and censored significantly on CNN, especially CNN Money. They simply cannot argue and debate truthfully, openly, because often their arguments fail under analysis. Is that big brother controlling them?
Courts are doing the same thing (ignoring reasoned argument and pleadings) and fraud is prevailing often.

Fair Use is fairly straight forward...theoretically
"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
Maybe the AP is subtly reminding us that they're not news reporters?

Listen to the crowd reactions to answers...Paul was a hands down winner.
I watched MSNBC News a few minutes ago and they didn't even mention Paul. Who owns/runs MSNBC for them to "shape" the news, not mentioning Paul
