        I suppose they're purely academic questions, but just out of curiosity: Who owns the copyright in the Osama bin Laden videotape released today by the U.S. government? Are the networks that air it in its entirety protected by the fair-use privilege? Does U.S. copyright law apply? Does Afghanistan have any copyright laws?
