ONE: INCORPORATION OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL CAPTURED INCIDENTALLY AND FORTUITOUSLYPRINCIPLE: Fair use applies to the incidental and fortuitous capture of copyright

material in journalism.

LIMITATIONS:• Fair use does not apply where a journalist has gained access to a person or place by

agreeing, either orally or in writing, to forego specific uses of the material gathered as a result.

• Neither does it apply if a journalist inserts copyrighted material into the reality being recorded and disseminated, as by asking musicians playing at an event to perform a particular song, or distorts news choices in order to include copyrighted material.

• The journalist should not repurpose incidentally captured material—for instance, a popular song sung by a celebrity at an event—for aesthetic or entertainment purposes, whether elsewhere in the same piece or in other work.

• The journalist should attribute the material in a reasonable manner. Where relevant, attribution should extend to entities or individuals other than copyright owners (e.g., the art gallery where a picture is hanging or the performer who interprets a song at a public event)
