Local FOX affiliate's way around copyrights.

You'd think a FOX affiliate station would be able to secure copyright permission to directly use footage from Star Wars, in its story about the petition sent to the White House to build a Death Star.  Apparently not.  They showed clips of Star Wars they grabbed from YouTube and instead of crediting the content owner (20th Century Fox / Lucasfilms), they credited YouTube.

I think they just slapped themselves in the face, no?
