Erik Wemple, The Washington Post; Supreme Court hands Fox News another win in copyright case against TVEyes monitoring service
"The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case could leave media
critics scrambling. How to fact-check the latest gaffe on “Hannity”? Did
Brian Kilmeade really say that? To be sure, cable-news
watchers commonly post the most extravagant cable-news moments on
Twitter and other social media — a democratic activity that lies outside
of the TVEyes ruling, because it’s not a money-making thing. Yet Fox
News watchdogs use TVEyes and other services to soak in the full context
surrounding those widely circulated clips, and that task is due to get
more complicated. That said, services may still provide transcripts
without infringing the Fox News copyright."
