Another Insurer for Fair Use
Posted by Patricia Aufderheide on Apr 25, 2007 at 9:19 AM
Chubb has now joined the group of insurers that recognize fair use claims for documentary filmmakers. These insurers are depending on the Documentary Filmmakers’ Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use to make their judgments (they want a lawyer to verify the filmmaker’s decision that the use is within the Statement’s principles). This is a big step forward, since for years before the Statement was issued, documentary filmmakers had not been able to get insurance for these fair uses.
