POV vs Alternatives
| Alternative | The Problem | With POV |
|---|---|---|
| Screen-recorded news clips | Fair use risk, low resolution, no metadata | Licensed, high-res, with capture metadata |
| Stock footage | Generic, staged, expensive subscriptions | Real events, real locations, pay per clip |
| Social media reposts | No license, no capture record, may get taken down | Properly licensed with provenance |
