<![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> So if I watch a video of someone reading the NFL copyright agreement on my 60 inch television which happens to be in my front yard and someone walking by sees it on my tv, I'm going to jail?

I Heart Poop

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> @Keith Talent: we are big fans of those. Also, remember back when the 5 Bears fans negotiated for the use of their 2 Super Bowl tickets? We watched that in class because I suggested it. Deadspin got pulled up on the big screen at the front of the class and everything.

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> Can I request a post concerning Architecture so I may also look smart? I could use big words like fenestration when I mean windows, or breakdown deconstruction/post modern theories and so forth. Lawyers have all the fun.

Oh, that or anything on Grease the movie. Shut up, I was the middle child of two sisters.

I think the Rejected Comments Theater on DUAN has prevented me from posting anything lately, as they're generally better written and/or far crazier than mine. I think maybe I'll go back to just reading Deadspin and cut the commenting.

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> The NFL probably has lazy attorneys who only have one form letter to send out. Researching the issue and tailoring a second letter to actually address the issue would constitute "work".

Gentleman André

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> The trick to working at a law firm is to forget about law school and get a job at the firm in the IT department, like I did. Sure, you don't make as much as the lawyers do, but you get to go home at a reasonable hour each night and you get your nights free. And you don't have to worry about all that law lingo.

plus the professor guy has a clear "fair use" claim for newsworthiness (17 USC 107) if she/he chooses to pursue it. I wonder why YouTube bothered to get involved though.

IP law... fun!

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> "See that boat over there? They're rebroadcasting Major League Baseball with implied oral consent, instead of express written consent."

Peter Cavan

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]>
"The DMCA way for NFL to challenge that, per 512(g)(2)(C), would be to "file[] an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material," which they haven't. Sending a second notification that fails to acknowledge the fair use claims instead puts NFL into the 512(f)(1) category of "knowingly materially misrepresent[ing] ... that material or activity is infringing."

There is actual brain matter seeping out of my head right now. I don't know how you law school kids do it.

Rob Iracane

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> I'm guessing this falls under the "we have to enforce everything or the freaks can come out of the woodwork and say 'if you didn't do it there, how can you do it here?'" kind of deals?

I bet Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer could get to the bottom of this as sure as he could get to the bottom of his $5,000 lap pool.

CDNMoose

]]> <![CDATA[The NFL Chases Down Itself]]> The crazy part is that any "dissemination" is prohibited without express written consent. Does that mean that I can't tell you what happened in a game, or does it mean that Jeff Garcia has to have league permission to get his stomach pumped?
