More details to this question:
My son's classmate made a video of a boy being beaten at the bus stop. He then forwarded it to all his friends. My son sent it to me so I could send it to the parent of the child who was beaten, to the school and the police at their request, and then to the media at the parent's request. Now I am told that I had no "rights" to it and that I could be sued in civil court. Is this correct? Or is it a 1st amendment right?

There's no practical legal downside to sending the tape. If you are in lawful possession of the copy, do not re-copy it, and give it away without charge, your exposure is very limited.
