Really? I'm not trying to be facetious: Can anybody roll up to the military and ask for arbitrary gun camera footage?

  If they get it, it's not protected by copyright. That's it.

    Do you have a source for this piece of information? I'm led to believe it is the other way around, anything obtained illegally doesn't automatically become public domain - but I don't have an internet based source to link to at the moment.

      Public domain is just its copyright status. The legality/illegality of publishing or disseminating it is a separate unrelated issue. Everything created by the USFG is automatically public domain, but just because something is public domain doesn't mean it can circulate freely in public.

      See the Pentagon Papers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers Even stolen information cannot be enjoined from publication by the government.

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
