What's the legal position on sharing broadcast transcripts? I've
recorded a couple of recent Wikimedia-related radio interviews and
transcribed them to avoid sharing the audio. I was thinking of sharing
transcripts through this list and perhaps a press archive on the
Wikimedia UK site. My instinct is that the content of the conversation,
unlike the audio itself, is non-copyrightable, but online I've seen some
descriptions of transcripts as derivative works. I'm rather keen not to
get the chapter in trouble!
