Amazed with the small margin for error with these bicyclists zipping from water stop to water stop. What if someone had a flat or other mechanical? Is there a backup system in place.

Clearly I knew about fair use. However, I didn't know how explicit the language was about "news reporting". I had always seen this test which still applies in determining if the news reporting use is "fair use":
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Look if the McGregor-Mayweather fight is on and the local newstation puts up a video highlight they're going to get sued. For big fights, you never see video of them on even the news.
Typical damaged triathlete.
almost certainly not fair use
The Germans are known for their efficiency.
How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?
One German. They are very efficient and have no sense of humor

Fool. German streets are so meticulously clean that there is nothing on the streets to cause a puncture flat. And Klaus and his gang are not stupid enough to cause a pinch flat or blowout.

Not true.

First the article was more about Gault bragging about his 800 retweets. No one care jonny.
Secondly he almost certainly violated copyright law by stealing the video from NBC and posting it on twitter.
I just reread the article. There is no mention of how many times it's been rewteeted.
You must be in the industry as the average joe doesn't really give a s*** how man times something is retweeted or whether NBC could make a copyright claim against a few second clip.
We could easily make a "fair use" claim to the clip.
Wow- after reading the actual text of US copyright law I'd say someone could even argue that one could have a sports highlight show and use video highlights from sporting events and it would be allowed.
Maybe we should do that for Diamond League meets. Someone argue against me. Here's what it says:
1976 Copyright act:
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

So John clearly used this clip for comment and arguably news reporting in my book.
CNN is always reproducing Foxnews clips (often long ones) and then critizising the content. I don't think they ask Fox for permission.

Good point, thanks for raising, for next year we will ensure we have back up riders to hand over their bikes to Claus if need be.
Now, as the Berlin Marathon Special Drinks Manager and Supervisor I can reveal an exclusive of how we're going to improve the drinks supply to a few very select 'A' category elite athletes next year:
DRONES
We have checked with the IAAF and the following will apply, the drone will start to hover with the bottle at the first table of the particular drinks station, it will then fly alongside the runner and they have until the last drinks table to take the drink, similar to the relay baton change area, if the athlete hasn't taken it by then the drone will be directed away.
We are negotiating with Claus to be EK's drinks drone operator for next year but since his new found fame he's got himself an agent and is demanding a fairly substantial fee similar to EK's. Our dilemma is that EK said he won't run next year unless Claus is his drinks man and neither is prepared to take an appearance fee cut to help us pay for them both, so it's TBA regarding Claus and EK for next year as we can't have one without the other, it all comes down to the money.
Perhaps the LR readers could start a Go Fund Me.

My one big question for Mr. Gault - was the interview done in English or German? Were translators used?
The average German probably speaks better English than the average American :)
Germans are strange. Likable, but strange. They take most things to the absolute extreme. And they have little to no awareness of social mores or how they’re being perceived by others.
Rock on, Drinks Guy!

Indeed. However, extreme does not always translate into effective. After all, when it comes to world conflicts, they just can't seem to win the big ones.

Their utter lack of self awareness always gets in the way of 'big wins'. Their lack of charisma makes it impossible for them to rally more discerning, scruitinizing folk.
German:
- Cash still rules in Germany. A lot of germans pay their rent in cash, which is why 500.00 bank notes are circulated.
- They are intensely focused on having close to 30 percent of their energy to come from renewable sources by 2020
- Germans have a beer purity rule. Beer can only be made with water, hops and barley. They have loosened that rule a little, but it is still in play. They don't make piss.
- Germans engineer EVERYTHING faster than any other culture. Not only can they think it, they can build it, precisely.

Great article. Thanks for publishing.
Also, this is a good example of why Germans are awesome. Take what seems like a meaningless, brain-dead task like handing out water bottles at a marathon. Put someone on it who's incredibly overqualified: Klaus, the marathoner/triathlete/engineer. Spend a year planning improvements to the system. Put in redundant back-up systems. And then the whole thing comes together just to shave a few seconds off the greatest marathon ever run.
Heard Kurt fearnley talking about a native porter who helped him crawl/drag the Kokoda track. Inspired.

The reason they don't have to get permission is because criticizing is what makes it fair use. No one would give a license to have their content criticized. That's the reason it's fair use.
Lets run wanted to make money off of a video of a guy that they could have videoed themselves but didn't.
In fact, a lot more payments in Germany come through bank transfers than in the U.S. German manufacturing quality seems to be high, but what a German engineer told me was that they do everything very fast, see that it is wrong, and do it again, whereas, he said, in Japan, they have a meeting in advance, figure out how to do it right, and then do it right the first time.
They work fast and stop earlier, actually enjoying their time off with friends and family. In terms of computer technology and Internet companies, though, Germany and indeed most of Europe is very far behind the United States, which drives them crazy and is, I believe, at the root of their focus on regulating Google and the like.
There are many virtues that you will find in Germany and the Germans (great bakeries, great train systems and bike paths, great serious conversationalists, and diehard friends for life, among many other fine qualities), but I was just referring to your comments.

probably because of some FCC or rome convention rebroadcasting rule that goes beyond mere copyright.
