The Digg Reel and Copyrights


We're very sensitive about copyrights and copyright holders.  With The Digg Reel we are carefully following our lawyers recommendations on what  constitutes Fair Use of a video segment.

Just as we showed a small piece of a longer Daily Show segment to report on what's hot and happening with online videos, that Daily Show segment included clips from ABC News and Fox News, to highlight Hilary's breakdown.  And the clip came from <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/09/thats-it-jon-stewart-_n_80749.html>"The Huffington Post's</a> own <a href="http://www.brightcove.tv/channel.jsp?channel=1178199204">Brightcove-based video servers</a>, where they seem to also exercise Fair Use in their reposting of pieces of newsy segments.

With that said, though, if Viacom asks, we will immediately remove the video.  There are millions more great ones out there to choose from.
