NMATV stands behind
AFA and their boycott of PepsiCo's sponsorship of a "Sexually Offensive" episode of Fox's The Family Guy
March 27, 2009
New Media Alliance Television (www.nmatv.com) is standing firmly behind the American Family Association's boycott of PepsiCo, in their FCC complaint drive against the Fox Broadcasting Company's sexually offensive, anti-Family,
anti-Christian content included in a recent airing of The Family Guy.
FBC has threatened (via email) NMATV for copyright infringement, while failing to acknowledge the video's legal use being covered by The Copyright Act of 1976 Fair Use provision (http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html) that reads in part,
107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phone records or by any other means specified by that section, 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 video segment, uploaded to NMATV, was embedded onto the AFA website, in which "criticism (and/or)comment" was included. Or see the video here on NMATV.
NMATV was also the subject of an online attack during the afternoon of March 26, 2007 after Bob Parks, NMATV Executive Director, refused an email demand (from an unknown person) to immediately remove the video.
