Things written online are just as likely to be copyright as things on paper or things on TV.

There is a myth that anything online is free or not as 'real' as something on tv or in a book. Guess what, it is the content that matters, not the medium.

Oh, I know - content, not medium. I just took the whole thing to be something like an online news article (e.g. from CNN.com) that you're generally allowed to show/use for educational or research purposes as long as you give credit to the correct source.


Addendum..

As for the rest of this news media stuff - sounds really interesting. Never thought of getting publicity for FIRST this way.. but.. hmm.

Might prove to be another attractive procrastination device..

Heh, and if FIRST gets more recognition in general, maybe my school'd finally give us a little monetary support >\

The news media would be awesome!

I know that I have given one of our WildStang DVDs to my mom's boss who gave it to his good friend, the dean of admissions at RIT and from what I have heard it is currently bouncing around the Eastern Coast somewhere.

I guess that's a step in the right direction... now all we need is National TV coverage of the FIRST Program!
