I wonder if anyone is counting the total number of lawsuits regarding this Election.

You just have to think about what old Kerryboy has to hide.

I've never seen a candidate so fearful of his past and so busy trying to sweep it all away like so much dust.

Boo frickin' who. I don't know ANYONE that seeks permission from the USSR to reproduce THEIR images.

If you catch a historical moment (Jean Kerry and Hanoi Jane) in a photo, it has just reason to be brought to the masses.

The JFK assassination film (Zapruder's) went to govt. property (public domain) and BACK to private property. There is ANOTHER 8mm film (from the other side of the street) of that event.

Where exactly does FAIR USE come into play?

How could the director of the film object to the content? The first paragraph doesn't make sense.

heard from defense lawyers the one-hour news program, "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media" to be aired on Friday would not contain any of the copyrighted works.

Much ado about nothing. Save for free advertising from Reuters.

Thanks to the mainstream media, certain Democrats and special interests for their efforts to stop Sinclair they have helped to considerably improve the impact of the show -- not to mention create a large audience.

WHY didn't someone sue Michael Moore?

The owner of Going Up River is piggybacking on the attack Sinclair bandwagon. A pile on.

Ironically, Going Up River is pro-Kerry. One could say that along with their open invitation to John Kerry to give a ball lanced and opposing view -- which his camp has repeatedly turned down -- George Butler has also  refused to allow Sinclair to use any footage from his film for balance and an opposing view.

Butler has not seen Sinclair's documentary and because it hasn't been aired the lawsuit is frivolous. Sinclair could sue George Butler for filing a frivolous lawsuit that falsely accuses Sinclair of copyright infringement. Libel.

demanded equal air time from Sinclair

Wasn't there a story, some time back, concerning Clinton's book tour where CBS, I think, demanded that ALL its affiliates had to carry certain interviews and PR?

Amazing these comminists do not know of the concept called "Fair Use" in regards to copyright.
