THAT's going to leave a mark!

1. K&R...

[Bfd]

2. Haaha. That's funny "because you aren't a reliable source of what's going on in our country today."

[Hugin]

3. If Fox were to get the rights you can bet we'll never see the pictures again.

They'd spike 'em.

[durablend]

4. Wait, they asked permission?

You sure this is the real FOX News?

[TheBlackAdder]

5. Yes, like the fucking grifters they represent, they offer nothing in exchange, except a mention.

[brooklynite]

7. In fairness, that's a standard permission request; every other network does the same

12. Yep. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask first, to see if they can get it on the cheap before paying.

.

That AP one really sucks because they ask for licensing rights too, in perpetuity.

No other image firm agrees to that. Every image site has use, licensing and time limit constraints.

I'd like to see Getty's response to such a request.

.

[LiberalFighter]

13. I would include language limiting their right if I responded.

[TwistOneUp]

16. They asked...

And it never hurts to ask for a big sum and negotiate. Also, demand a cashier's check with a bill-of-sale so tomorrow they can't tell the bank, "we made a mistake, give it back".

[Augiedog]

6. Perfect

[NastyRiffraff]

8. She and her husband should keep an eye out

to make sure Fox doesn't use it anyway. I wouldn't put it past them, even after they were specifically told they couldn't.

[brooklynite]

9. If they did, it would be a lawsuit waiting to happen...

They publicly asked for permission.
They were publicly refused permission.
They used it anyway.


...and why would Fox want to promote the fact that this nut job has been driving around like this for a year?

[brooklynite]

19. I'll admit when I'm wrong...

33. can fox use it if they take the image from cnn or some other network

that was given permission ?

[irisblue]

10. She said yes to other news stations.

Good for her

11. Pic in question

... was taken on 11/1/17 when this "Magabomber" Sayoc made a meal delivery in this van.

[FakeNoose]

14. Hey! this is a different van than the one CNN got on video

Here's the still photo from the video:



This is from the CNN tweet in which the perp's van is shown being towed and the tarpoline blew off.

Compare this with the photo posted by Lesley Abravanel, they are 2 different vans and the political posters are different.

[Staph]

15. CNN's picture is of the driver's side of the van.

The other is of the passenger's side.

[MineralMan]

20. Nope. Right side and left side.

Swinging double side doors only on right side.

[ET Awful]

17. What I want to know is why wasn't this asshole ever ticketed for obstructed visibility . . . .

Doesn't Florida have laws against that?

[FakeNoose]

18. Well the Feds say that he has an arrest record

... that's why his prints were already on file. I can't tell you what he was arrested for.

I agree that those window posters on his van are ridiculous.

[OriginalGeek]

24. There's all kinds of vehicle wraps that you can see out of

I would imagine these are like that.

[whopis01]

29. You don't need to have rear windows clear

You just need the windshield and side mirrors visible and clear.

Think of a panel van. That has no windows on the side (other than driver and passenger) and no visible back window. Perfectly legal in every state.

[ET Awful]

31. I'm specifically referring to the passenger side window n/t

[whopis01]

32. It didn't appear to obscure the side view mirror. n/t

[ET Awful]

34. Not perfectly legal in every state. I can tell you it wouldn't fly in California or Mass

They'll ticket you for tint beyond a certain point in any window, they'll ticket you for any obscured view, etc. They can order removal of tint or obstruction and have your car towed if you don't comply.

For instance, California Vehicle Code states:

24002. (a) It is unlawful to operate any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is in an unsafe condition, or which is not safely loaded, and which presents an immediate safety hazard.

(b) It is unlawful to operate any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is not equipped as provided in this code.

Amended Ch. 696, Stats. 1992. Effective September 15, 1992.

26708. (a) (1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any
object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied
upon the windshield or side or rear windows.

(2) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any object or
material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied in or
upon the vehicle which obstructs or reduces the driver's clear
view through the windshield or side windows.

[whopis01]

35. What I said was perfectly legal in every state was a panel van with no rear or read side windows.

I am sure a panel van as described is perfectly legal in California.

[YOHABLO]

21. Anyone who decoupages RW political crap all over their car windows is a nut case.

I want to run, hide, from the crazy but it's all around me. Anyone else feel like that?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. Yes !!!

Let's plan our escape . . .

[Cetacea]

23. It just says "Link To Tweet" when I open nt

[LTG]

25. AP's release is based on them being a subscription service

AP provides stories, photos, video etc to subscribing papers, magazines, radio and television stations/networks. Fox, as an AP subscriber, receives content licensed to them by AP.

A number of times individuals have explicitly refused useage rights to one Fox producer while another obtains it from a licensing source, like AP, that had been given useage and licensing rights by the copyright owner.

The law is vague and will depend on a lot of factors beyond the request and explicit denial.

[kaotikross]

26. thats awesome

She just bitchslapped Fox.

[haydukelives]

27. Sorry

Not sorry.

[bitterross]

28. They probably hear that a lot.

I would feel sorry for those associate producers and interns who deal with this - but they knew where they were going to work. So - fuck 'em.

[libdem4life]

30. I'm confused. what's so special about this photo?

We've seen it a million times...seems. Although I do like her retort.
