Hi !
(a)Is there an exeption which allows the use of
copyrighted works in public prosecutions?
(b)What about in circumstances such as these where
there has been the creation of a derivative work.
It seems like the TV-companys lawyers(?) used an old version of the Copyright Act (this article was changed in 1997)since it in Article 26 b says"......Copyright in a work does not prevent the use of the work in the interest of justice or public security.! The exemption include for certain use, but if it includes the adaption made in this case is not that clear.

Hi,
I came across an interesting story recently concerning the use of video evidence in a trial in Sweden.
http://slash.autonomedia.org/article.pl?sid=01/11/30/0639238
It appears that the police had recorded television coverage of protests against an EU meeting from the television, and subsequently used the tapes in the prosecution of a protestor.
Subsequently, a television station made a documentary suggesting that the footage had been re-editied, had a new audio track inserted etc. Apparently the TV stations are not considering litigation for infringement.
My question for any Swedish copyright experts out
there:
(a)Is there an exdeption which allows the use of
copyrighted works in public prosecutions? and
(b)What about in circumstances such as these where
there has been the creation of a derivative work.
