UN Broadcasting Treaty seen as severely limiting essential freedoms
  • "For example, if US President Bush gave an interview to Fox News, Fox could prevent any subsequent use of that footage including fair use, commentary, or criticism of President Bush - at its sole discretion - under the new anti-circumvention rights created by this treaty. Much of the political humor available on Comedy Central's Jon Stewart Show could become illegal under this treaty."
