Fox on Fair Use: Lose ItEmail This EntryPrint This Entry
Posted by Ernest Miller

Just below, Donna discusses the new documentary (OutFOXed) that criticizes Fox News' "fair and balanced" news reporting (Fair Use It or Lose It, Part II). One of the main issues is whether or not Fox News will sue for copyright infringement against the fair use commentary of the movie. Well, it looks like Fox just may, according to statements from Fox this afternoon: Outfoxed Rope-a-Dope Begins?:

The illegal copyright infringement actions of moveon.org in cooperation with The New York Times, including 'cutting a deal' not to give Fox News Channel adequate time to react, is unprecedented.

Since you folks on Copyfight don't provide any way of emailing you, I'm posting here: Could you ask Corante to fix their code so that attempting to print a page from Copyfight will no longer crash any browser? It happens on IE6.0 and NS4.7. And it's difficult if not impossible to even select text on the pages -- one cannot avoid also selecting all of the sidebars. Or is this some wicked scheme to enforce your own DRM on Copyfight readers (no printing, no cutting-and-pasting)?

No DRM, just non-compliant browsers. We'll look into the problem.
