It's the same with news and interviews as it is with movies.
Somebody owns the rights to the broadcast (in Finland it's Yle, MTV or
Nelonen) They don't own the rights to the news itself but to the broadcast
they do.
So you can read news to tape and then sample them, but you can't use news
read by for example Arvi Lind.
Sorry.
