CNN has a magazine style show called NEXT@CNN that has a gaming theme
this week. Included is, of course, a discussion of vintage gaming and
what the kids today think of the old stuff.
It's funny to see the old Atari X-Wing run side-by-side with the modern
version.
About 20 minutes into the show is a "bump" for the 30th anniversary of
the Altair computer featuring a machine from my collection including a
shot from this year's VCF!

Well, considering I took the picture and it was of my machine AND you
couldn't tell that it's a VCF picture without my admitting to it I'm not
sure you'd be able to make TOO big a deal, but I am sure it would be fun
either way! ;)
Which reminds me, I have to finish my VCF7 page sometime soon. I'm only
about halfway through descriptions on the 100+ shots I took! :(

Well, based on what I know about this sort of issue (and I might be wrong)
if it's used in the context of news coverage then of course there's no
issue. But if they are using this as part of their program then that's a
copyright issue. I suppose it could be considered "fair use" in this
case, but then the courtesy of asking for permission would apply in my
book. I'm going to ask someone who knows.
I still have to see the piece to see exactly how it was used. I
presumably recorded it for later viewing. Like I said, if it wasn't CNN I
wouldn't care ;)

Not true. Besides the fact that "news" is more or less
entertainment these days, they still need permission to use
it. If their budget is $0 then they wouldn't use it. Since they
already DID use it, you can readily make up a reasonable value,
say $500, for the use of the photo.
Consider they sell ad time in the 100K$/min to $1M/min on both
sides of your photo. This ain't 1964 and that wasn't Walter
F-ing Cronkite, instead some drone/lackey making their owners
money with your work.
I bet you can find someone who sells stock images, footage,
photo library to that industry to get a sense of how it works
and what you practical recourse is.

I'm not that picky. I assume people walking around with cameras are
taking photos or video for their own private use.

BULLSHIT. I'm an actual, living, breathing, working reporter, and when I go to
a convention or any other event, I write about and takes pictures of anything I
damn well please. The only paperwork or permission I need is called the First
Freaking Amendment.
Having said that, once in a while I'll work out a gentlemen's agreement,
whereby I agree NOT to report on something, in exchange for getting an
exclusive or scoop on something else.
If the news/video crew didn't announce themselves to the VCF event staff, that
is certainly discourteous and unprofessional -- it's not like they were
covering a fire and time prevented it. But more importantly, if a tiny event's
leaders tried telling ME or any other respectable journalist what I could or
couldn't do based on their permission, the appropriate response would be 'you
need me, I don't need you'. (The fact that VCF was held in a quasi-public
venue is another issue in the reporters' favor.)
If what they photographed was something like a trade secret, then in certain
cases they might seek Erik's permission, since he owned it.

Well, most events will issue press credentials, which are by application only,
and the event planners can DENY credentials to anyone. So if you're CNN and
the VCF declines to give you a press admittance, you could still enter as a
member of the public, but presumably VCF would have been smart enough to have
some fine print stating that members of the publics' photos cannot be used for
commercial gain, in which case CNN would be illegally using its show admittance
ticket.
However, experienced reporters know that you only deal with stuff like
credentials if the event planners insist on it. We want as little interference
in doing our jobs as possible. If I can just show up at an event and do my
job, then I will; I'm not going to voluntarily tell the event folks "gee,
shouldn't you issue me a special pass, which you can later use to get in my
way?".
Think about it -- do building contractors suggest that town inspectors come
harass them; do chefs demand sanitation inspections? No, they just deal with
them as a necessary evil. Supreme Court decisions in this country thankfully
disallow prior restraint from the government, let alone from private companies.

Supreme Court decisions in this country [presumably
the USA]
thankfully disallow prior restraint from the government, let alone
from private companies.
This reveals an apparent misconception. Restraints on government are
often (I'd almost say "usually") more severe, not less so, than on
other entities like individuals and private corporations. (This is
because government is in a position of much more abusable power. Or at
least that's the theory; how true it remains in today's system is
arguable.)
For example, the USA government is forbidden most forms of censorship,
but private entities are not; a newspaper is perfectly free to censor -
to not print - any story, letter, or whatever that it cares to, for any
reason it pleases. (There are exceptions, but they are fairly narrow,
and from what I understand do not apply to individual cases, only to
patterns of behaviour.)

I may have made a dumb assumption -- that CNN used one of
Sellam's photos, from his website. If they came and took
their own photos (or equiv process) then almost certainly it's
uncontrollable after the fact.

The picture in question can be seen at
http://www.vintage-computer.com/images/vcf7/mydisplay3.jpg and is a
picture of one of my Altair 8800s.
The image actually shown on the show was cropped all the way in to the
Altair and its drive with the only evidence that it was a VCF picture (to
me, anyway) being the plexiglass case cover. I had those covers made for
this year's VCF. Nobody else on the planet would have known where that
picture was taken had I not identified it myself.
This image was used, in conjunction with two "studio" images I took of the
same machine, for about 15 seconds in the middle of the show. All of the
images had text superimposed on them that told about the introduction of
the Altair 30 years ago and about a couple of undergrads who started some
company to make software for it.
All of the pictures were were taken by me (I hold the copyright, for
whatever that's worth) and all appear on my website. The show's producer
simply asked for higher resolution copies for the NEXT@CNN spot. She was
given these with my permission to use them on the show.
I'm not sure what Sellam's beef is, but as I said earlier it's probably
good for some fun either way.
I'm also not sure why Sellam hates CNN that much but there's probably a
fun story there too.
Clear as mud now, eh? :)

That's why I was confused. I thought there was an objection to CNN using
a photo they'd taken themselves, for which they would own the copyright.
(For instance, if you pay a professional to photograph your wedding, the
photographer holds the copyright unless you negotiate a contract stating
otherwise.)
Given that they vigorously protect their own copyrights, I'm surprised
that they would steal someone else's. Maybe they were (incorrectly)
confident that noone would notice.

Well, considering I took the picture and it was of my
machine AND you
couldn't tell that it's a VCF picture without my admitting to it I'm not

either way! ;)
I saw that show, and I also saw your name in the credits.

from the VCF.
Are they required to?
