How about news stuff? Let's say a newsflash based on a press release
from 10 Downing Street. Library pictures would be used - surely the BBC
film these and therefore own them? They employ the newsreader, own the
studio in which it was made, commissioned the music and titles. The
press release is exactly that, so I can't think they'd be to snotty on
the copyright of it in that way.
Or am I missing something obvious?
tons of pooled footage / bought in footage / freelance cameramen /
stills / most library pictures are bought in, or result in some
secondary fee to original rights holders
