counterpoint: the first law broken is by providing copyright derivatives without license. imagine if a public broadcast included random copyrighted images of movies, and you want people with antennas to be charged for watching.

What about it? That could still be protected by Fair Use considering the nature of the copyright law. If you're charging money for people to watch your movie review podcast or upcoming film news program, you'd probably be fine as long as you didn't attempt to show any films in full.

A few years ago Corellium literally sold researchers a copy of Apple's iOS for penetration testing purposes. Apple was outraged and sued, but lost their copyright appeal because Corellium's use of copyrighted material was Fair Use. Even though they were making money off something that wasn't theirs. Same went for Google vs Author's Guild, a bunch of authors sued Google for deriving their books for a digital system. Since the original copies were lawfully attained and the full work was never output by Google, they also got away with Fair Use. And that's to say nothing of the copyright clusterfuck called YouTube...
