Post subject: AFL threatens to sue fan over video | |

http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/afl-threatens-to-sue-fan-over-video-highlights/2007/06/12/1181414305270.htm
Quote: | THERE haven't been many highlights for Richmond fans this year, but those that do exist have been removed from an unofficial club website.
The AFL has threatened to sue the supporter behind the website for infringing the broadcast rights of its internet partner, Telstra.
The site, puntroadend.com, is a non-profit forum run by 50-something Tigers obsessive Rosy, who says she was stunned to receive a threatening letter from the league last month. |
Just thought I'd highlight this one. Article seems to indicate that their editing Video and posting it. How does this effect Favs great highlight packages?
Quote: | The offending material has been removed from the site, even though Rosy believes she may be legally entitled to show small clips of footage under copyright law if it is for purposes of criticism or review. "We think that is what we are doing and we would like to test it, but there's no way I can afford the legal costs of fighting the AFL and Telstra," she said. |

I don't think it is a problem because You tube are hosting favs2006 Videos. This would mean the AFl and Telstra would have to to take on the owner of You tube. which i think is google though it might be News Corp. Neither of which they can bully |

I think what has happened is they actually copied the richmond stuff of the telstra site, ie copying ctv putting it on nicks. I have been asked to remove two items by the AFL or PBL, and the explanation was that it was over 5 minutes of straight footage, so as long as the highlights were edited ect they didn't have a problem with it. Hense the amount of AFL now available on you-tube. _________________ Like Nicks, why not donate

*laughs*
Reminds me of when I did a subject at university, Statistics and Probability Modeling. It was a new subject and easily the worst I had ever attempted to do. There was no set textbook for us to buy, rather, he would photocopy pages out of some out-of-print stats book that none of us could find.
One day, about three or four weeks in, we're sitting there, waiting for our photocopies to be handed out, when he tells us, "Legally, I'm not allowed to photocopy anymore of the book, so you can all borrow it." Because borrowing a book between thirty people was practical, you see.
Anyway, I'd say it's true. _________________ Match in the gas tank...

Nah you're only allowed one chapter.. Well that's the rule at monash.
Anyway, what horrible handling of the issue by the AFL. Couldn't they just send a polite suggestion to the woman instead of a legal threat? _________________ I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks... - Eugene Debs |
