No news has a special classification in terms of copyright re breaking news/live news. Documentaries are different. He may want to collect all books etc but you can't post that without expecting to be sued. I have in fact seen some very illegal stuff on internet archive. The Google case of course remains in litigation with in fact two major lawsuits.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
