More and more people (judging by Tim Crawford's display at the Laughlin Conference) are making documentaries about UFOs, and related subjects (and everything else for that matter - docs are hot).
Here's a good resource for any budding UFO filmmakers out there, concerning "fair use" in documentaries. It's well worth a read, particularly if you haven't dealt with these concepts before. It's also a useful reference tool for "fair use" in general, including people with UFO blogs, websites, and the like.

I believe there is a caveat (at least in US law) where the intent of a web presentation changes what and how much is thought to be fair use. For example, a satirical web page could host a photo of say our esteemed Chairman Bush in a silly or embarrassing light where a publication so stating their information is truthful and factual might be called into question.
Thus is the difference between comedy and, well…. some of that other stuff.
