Variety - Doc rocks Rupe's roost

Yahoo! News - Doc rocks Rupe's roost: "With Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11' continuing to break box office records for docs, films like Greenwald's suddenly have a chance for greater visibility. But it's still unclear what sort of theatrical or television distribution path 'Outfoxed' may take. Any and all plans could be scuttled if Fox News claims copyright infringement.
Fox News has not issued an official statement on 'Outfoxed.' As a general rule, execs suggested that the news org doesn't go after people using footage without the proper clearance.
Like his other recent film, 'Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War,' Greenwald is using alternate distribution routes, meaning people who want to see 'Outfoxed' can buy it online for $9.95 or somehow get an invitation to one of 2,000 screenings planned in private homes around the country.
