re: Cubs win lawsuit against rooftop seating

I get why the cubs want money, but I don’t see how you can charge someone to watch your open product from their own private property?
At no point have the Cubs argued people can’t watch the game for free from private property, nor is there a question as to if they have legal standing there to stop it. They don’t
The lawsuit was entirely that this guy doesn’t have a right to sell $100-300 tickets to freeload off of the product they create, and it’s a pretty cut and dry example of misappropriation

He does if he’s not on Cubs property

Does the Cubs organization prohibit private property owners from charging to use their own property for paid parking?

He makes huge profits. My brother went to a world series game the year they won it, and I believe he payed upwards of $500 to sit up there. Obvisouly that's a world series game, but I'm sure it's not cheap on normal game situation either.

Was he specifically charging a fee to “watch the game” or were people just at a bar that overlooks the stadium?

Interesting counterpoint. Cubs can’t have a game without outside vendors providing transportation and parking
ETA: do the cubs owe them money in order to host?

Ridiculous ruling. This is private property outside the stadium.

Sell them a pencil and rubber band for the estimated ticket price and the guest get to watch for free with complimentary food.

The Cubs own the content and they can charge what they want. He can choose to pay it or not. Sucks for the roof guy but that's business.
Dude is sitting on a privately owned roof in view of a public sporting event. How are you legislating this, seriously?? It's a good court case imo
