BRAD PITT PHOTO PUTS FOX NEWS ON 'FAIR USE' HOT SEAT
By Eriq Gardner
Fox News is now being sued for showing unauthorized video of Brad Pitt failing to control his motorcycle as he drives slowly in Hollywood. The footage aired during Bill O'Reilly's show, where he used it to criticize paparazzi.
The owner of the footage, Media2Air, says it licensed use of the video to various media outlets but Fox News just took it "as part of its continuing coverage of the Pitt family."
Fox News claimed "fair use."
As you'll recall, News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch has been vocal in his belief that courts would eventually bar "fair use." The comments have made their way into Media2Air's new lawsuit against Fox News.
