Det har vært mye blest rundt Gørild Mauseth for tiden. Hun saksøkte NRK etter Store Studio viste et klipp fra filmen "Brent av Frost" for å vise hva en scene i "Kill Buljo" parodierte.
NRK tapte saken. Les dommen fra Oslo Tingrett her (pdf). NRK anker saken.
Hun utelukker ikke nye nakenscener. Og nå blir filmen sluppet på DVD på grunn av blesten rundt scenen.
Så hva er denne stormen om? Dere har sikkert sett det -- en gang på internett, alltid på internett. Men i tilfelle ikke: Værsågod. Sensurert for sarte sjeler (men et museklikk kan gjøre underverker).
Så hva er poenget? Saken kan skape presedens i andre saker om journalistisk sitatrett og trykkefrihet.
For our English-speaking readers: This lady was in a movie called "Burnt by Frost". Another movie parodied a somewhat infamous sex scene in that movie. People laughed. To illustrate what it was a parody of, a show on Norway's public TV channel NRK showed the scene from the original movie.
The scene in question show miss Mauseth in a boat full of fish, making love to a man. On the fish. There is a short moment of full frontal nudity.
So what's the problem? Mauseth had a clause in her contract with the film company limiting the use of that specific scene. So she sues NRK for showing it. NRK, strangely enough, loses. The case is now appealed by NRK.
The possible ramifications of this case are clear: At its core lies freedom of speech, journalistic rights etc. Mauseth had a contract with the film company -- not NRK. The creators had nothing to do with them showing the clip.
