Interesting...I ran Earwig's copyvio tool and

edit

thought I had found some possible copyright violations between this article and a VICE article The Other Shooter: The Saddest and Most Expensive 26 Seconds of Amateur Film Ever Made but I jumped down the editing rabbit-hole and it sure does seem that the Wikipedia article did not copy the VICE article but rather that the VICE article possibly copied Wikipedia without attribution. The VICE article was written in 2018, and the piece of content I ran down, that appeared in both the Wikipedia article and in the VICE article...

In December 1999, the Zapruder family donated the film's copyright to the Sixth Floor Museum, in the Texas School Book Depository building at Dealey Plaza, along with one of the first-generation copies made on November 22, 1963 and other copies of the film and frame enlargements once held by Life magazine

was written in Wikipedia in at least in 2009 - if not before. Some commonalities are to be expected, there are only so many ways one can say "The sky is blue" but word for word commonalities?... Hmmm. Shearonink (talk) 04:23, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

I remember a while ago, this page had the original JFK assassination footage until it was removed and deleted for some reason that i don't know why, i mean the footage for 9/11 is on it's page, why not here for jfk? 2601:40E:8100:7140:55FF:AAA7:F89D:C6FB (talk) 23:29, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

The film is copyrighted and owned by the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. This means that it requires a fair use rationale to use it in the article. A few screenshots are ok, but the entire film would fail NFCC guidelines.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 08:32, 21 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
