Discussion: NFL Abuses DMCA, Overreaches in Claims of Rights | | NFL Abuses DMCA, Overreaches in Claims of Rights Quote: |
If you're an NFL fan, no doubt you've seen the notice aired prior to games - "This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience, and any other use of this telecast or of any pictures, descriptions or accounts of the game without the NFL's consent is prohibited" - this notice is not necessarily illegal, but it in and of itself claims rights that the NFL does not have - which seems to be a habit of theirs. They also claim that you cannot re-publish NFL statistics, which are specifically exempted from copyright protection.
