| Abstract | Satellite news gathering (SNG) has been widely adopted in broadcast journalism in recent years, and appears likely to grow in importance as local television news operations increase their reliance on it. However, because the technology for SNG is so new, information transmitted through SNG systems is not adequately protected under current laws. Congress attempted to protect the interest of SNG originators in the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, which designated SNG transmissions as "private," but the Act provides only some protection in some situations. Moreover, it cannot be determined with precision which situations will trigger SNG protection under the Act and which will not. The best outlines for protection of SNG transmission appear to be in protection of intellectual property, though the law provides little guidance on the issue of detection and damages when an SNG feed is stolen. The 1986 Act is valuable in that it recognizes the interests of originators of SNG feeds, but is inadequate because it says nothing about the nature of satellite transmissions. Clearly, further congressional measures are warranted for the protection of such new technology. (JC) |
