A NEW attack ad from the Democratic National Committee features footage lifted from the much-disputed 60 Minutes segment aired by CBS News last Wednesday and from an interview last February from NBC's Meet the Press. When the Bush-Cheney campaign in February used footage from an interview President Bush gave NBC's Meet the Press, the network immediately demanded that the campaign pull the ad.
"NBC News did not, and does not, authorize this misuse of our copyrighted material," the network said in its February 10 statement. "As a news interview program, 'Meet the Press' takes very seriously the unauthorized use of its content for partisan political purposes."

Do you have this strange feeling that there is going to be war between NBC and CBS?

This has always struck me as peculiar. If A interviews B--doesn't B have as much in the way of property rights to the interview as A?

Don't give them too much credit. This is NBC protecting their IP (intellectual property), not defending Bush. Period.

NBC, and ABC, would like nothing more than to see CBS implode.

Wow, NBC taking an ethical stand! Is this one of the signs of the Apocalypse?
To: Mamzelle
Nope becaue B would have signed a copyright agreement with A before the interview, I completely understand this.
