I'm positive that the local news outlets did not give Michael Moore his news footage for his latest film and that a lot of what he used came from news reports. Since he used this footage to make the news media and the politicians look bad I'm sure it just wasn't given to him with their blessing. How did he get this stuff?
Let's say I was doing a documentary on the war in Iraq and wanted to use news footage taken from news crews in Iraq, where would I get this? Or I wanted war footage for a video.
This is just an example. My main question is where do you get the news type footage you see on TV and what type of permission do you have to get to use it for your projects.
I used Michael Moore and the war in Iraq for examples so lets please refrain from discussing political opinions and views of him and politics in general. Thanks
