What has happened since the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use was released on November 18, 2005?
• Independent Television Service (ITVS) endorses it
• WGBH producers give it out to their producers, and use it
• Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has shared it with all general counsels and general managers in its network
• PBS and ITVS jointly used it to clear Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes for broadcast
