Eric Alvarez of WZTV said during a recent broadcast the NCAA would not give the station permission to use highlight clips for their sports segment, so he decided to get "a little creative."
"And, before you ask: Yes, I did make this segment with things I found lying around my desk," Alvarez said.
The clips that played during Alvarez' segment featured a makeshift hoop composed in part by a key chain ring, Lego Batman and Superman and a rubber duck.

*of course* it is fair use, BUT:
1. Big Media has bloodied the concept of fair use pretty successfully, in LEGAL terms, as far as promoting VERY limited (as in close to zero) fair use exceptions... (regular lay people don't give a shit, witness rampant 'piracy')
2. certain the legal dept of the (so-called) news station will say to comply REGARDLESS of whether they have a defensible case, simply because the expense of doing so for the sake of a 2 minute sports story is not worth the aggravation... (so copyright bullying is rewarded once again)
3. further, the korporate kultur of the news station is aligned with the dictates of Big Media, so they don't *want* to challenge their faulty interpretation and copyright bullying, they are programmed to promote it... (and free speech dies from a thousand tiny cuts)
