Public's Right to Know video censored by Justice Dept

Michael filed a Freedom of Information Act request the the Justice Department to get it to release a movie called "The Public's Right to Know." The Department released part of the video, but redacted sections of it, claiming that since the video had been produced by a private contractor who hadn't assigned copyright to the feds, they didn't have the right to release it to him. How convenient. There's a reason that the feds aren't allowed to copyright the stuff they make with our tax dollars: it's stupid and dirty and irresponsible as hell to circumvent that duty to make the public's bought-and-paid material available to the public by failing to negotiate the rights when contracting out to the private sector.
