Re-broadcasting something already openly broadcast over the airwaves is one thing.

Using for private gain is another, and that little © after each broadcast means you can't do it without express written permission, which CBS would never have given for this purpose.

The FEC will probably close its eyes to this infraction (don't they always in cases of Republican criminal activity?), but they shouldn't.
