Wait, I thought all US Government productions were available for public

use?

I believe it was an AFRTS broadcast of a US network program. However, the
FCC investigated the off-air-recording aspect, leaving unprotected the
copyright violation of the network broadcast.

The case is in the FCC historic file, I believe. Searching under George
Mayoral, Alfredo Ramirez de Arellano and WKYN will find it.


Indeed, and I just looked it up. I am not sure the off-air-recording issue
can be considered current any longer, though I can't find anything later
about it.
