Fair Use for Documentaries
The Center for Social Media has developed the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practice of Fair Use (pdf) which is quite short and understandabel considering the morass legal issues usually degenerate in to. This is not a legal document of course but it will hopefully be a document many parties can agree upon.
Legal use is a topic we covered many times this semester and is vital to unlocking the re-mix culture. I do not think this issue will be resolved cleanly anytime soon but hopefully the end result can be done with utility in mind rather than legal rangling.
