If you want to use footage from any of the networks in any form of documentary aren't you required to pay them for it? I thought anything a network broadcast was immediately copyright material. I am fairly certain you have to ask their permission to use it. Furthermore, I do know another network successfully stopped MOVEON.ORG from using their footage.

I've always been under the impression that the copyright is for purposes of preventing others from profiting from the material. We have always used the "9 second rule", that is, use no more than a 9 second clip of another's running video. And that could be an undocumented rule itself!
One would think that Michael Moore would have tested any & all copyright rules with his "crapumentery"!
