Sooner or later they are going to have to figure out how to embrace technology rather than fight it. I guess legally they did have the right…but I think the question is did it really make sense?

But that's the problem with MSM/Dinosaur-era/whatever media. It's run by people who start and end all inquiry with their rights, as opposed to what's RIGHT to do. Jim: you nailed it.

How hard is it to simply request a copyright notification be added or some other intellectual property notification while still allowing free use of what is clearly by now a promotional package of short videos?

They have a team of lawyers rooted in 1950's "we're big, and we can do whatever we want" mentality. It's OUR property. It's OURS OURS OURS. They treat people as property, too. Next big scandal to break there: bookers at CNBC are threatening guests that "if you appear on Fox, CNN or Bloomberg you will not be interviewed on CNBC." This is journalism? One thing to show enterprise and be the first to get to people with something to say. That's enterprise. But to threaten news sources NOT to talk to other outlets is akin to sneaking up to the competitor's office and cutting their phone lines. Desperate people do desperate things, I guess....
