RedLasso records thousands of hours of network, cable and even local TV broadcasts, and then it makes the video available for bloggers to edit out “limited duration clips” and embed them on their sites. It’s become very popular during the political season, and as you might imagine, has drawn the legal attention of some of the networks. CBS, NBC and Fox have demanded that RedLasso stop distributing its video, and RedLasso responded by saying it will “continue to make its site available for use by bloggers providing social commentary on newsworthy events as it continues to work towards cooperative, mutually beneficial arrangements with those and other content providers.”
I don’t think this requires a legal genius to figure out what’s going to happen next.
