Fair Use for documentaries

Apparently a bunch of filmmakers came up with a set of guidelines for fair use in documentaries. It includes things like "If you accidentally capture a TV or music in the background, it's ok." Which is not what giant evil corporate lawyers would say, but they're evil.

Apparently this same group is going to come up with rules for YouTube and other video sites. I hope their rules hold up as worthy in court. Because there's good fair use out there.
