Well, I take what I said back, although I am still not sure that it is not fair use due to its undoubted usefulness to the Wikipedia community. I would call it an educational use.

Sure, we use "fair use text" but that means "quotations" and not wholesale copying. We're allowed to write an article about the interview, describing and even quoting from it when relevant but we're not allowed to just copy and re-print the entire interview.

Does Wikipedia allow fair use text? Does it allow fair use outside the article space? How is it clear case? Simply serving a public purpose is not enough.
On another note, I'm interested in seeing the next interview after Seigenthaler sees what is written about him on Jimbo's other site: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/John_Seigenthaler_Sr
"Seigenthaler was promptly fired in 1963 for his role in planning, carrying out, and covering up the JFK Assassination, and is even thought by some madmen to have supplied Oswald and Castro with silver bullets to kill the werewolf-president."

I just noticed that WikiFanatic posted a transcript on the Jimbo v. Seigenthaler debate on CNN:

Although I was fascinated about it, I feel like that page is a copyvio because I know that all CNN broadcasts and video are copyrighted material...
