There have been several recent decisions interpreting the fair use doctrine (�107 of the Copyright Act) in the context of entertainment law issues. One, published in December, concerns the broadcast of clips from the film “G.I. Joe” on television news programs shortly after the death of Robert Mitchum, who had a supporting role in the picture.[1]�
“G.I. Joe” is a drama about American infantry soldiers as seen through the eyes of Ernie Pyle, the famed World War II correspondent. For his supporting role as Lieutenant Walker, Mr. Mitchum received the only Academy Award nomination in his long career. “G.I. Joe” was released theatrically in 1945 and, since then, has been shown on television over 50 times.
