-----------June 19, 2007Weird Press Release RequirementI was looking over Palmetto State Quartet's website and noticed this weird requirement they have posted above their press releases: Written permission is not required to publicize this information in any form of media (print, internet, radio, etc.) so long as it is reproduced or disseminated in its entirety. Whoever wrote that little gem is evidently unfamiliar with the section of federal law that goes: the fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. (The emphasis on "news reporting" is mine.) I can see why a group might like to invent a law or policy out of thin air to suit their personal preferences, but fortunately for all of us, that isn't the way it works. The fact of the matter is that there's a bit of a debate on whether a piece of written text specifically labeled as a "press release" is protected by any sort of copyright in the first place. Saying "you can run this with no fear of us pressing charges, but only if you run it all" is rather self-defeating, especially when you consider traditional print media outlets where space for reporting news items is always limited.
