Though the recent meltwater news v newspaper licensing agency case suggests that even that
(tom dalton's interpretation) may come under question if meltwater's appeal fails.
If I understand it correctly the decision says that not even headlines only constitutes
'fair use'.
Meltwater sends new clips from the day to clients electronically, encouraging them to
click on the original news story websites.
This is a scary departure from what we all (me included) would believe to be true fair
use.
I'd like to think tom is correct but now I don't know he is. I hope I am wrong and
he is.

Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Transcripts of interviews
Short extracts from the transcript might qualify as fair dealing (aka
fair use). Publishing the whole thing would almost certainly be a
copyright violation.

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!
