re: NFL Removed News Outlets Rights to Use Infamous Play's Footage UPDATED WITH LINK

We should probably now realize that the National Football League is an entertainment enterprise that provides the appearance of being a sport competition enterprise. This entertainment enterprise has sole rights to the broadcast or dissemination of any images of its product.

Because the NFL has sole rights to decide whether any images of its product may be broadcast or disseminated, the NFL indeed does have the right to prohibit any such broadcast or dissemination of any image of its product, and the NFL may choose to enforce that right in a court of law.

That way, they can indeed sue anybody who displays a prohibited image of their product. In this case, the prohibited image of their product is the alleged Defensive Pass Interference incident against Tommylee Lewis that occurred with 1:49 remaining in the 4th Quarter.

Now let's get back to the wonderful world of the NFL!

Let's watch the arrival of the players for the Pro Bowl!

Let's watch the Pro Bowl practices!

Let's watch Team Prime Time vs Team Jerry Rice in the Pro Bowl Pre-game Flag Football Exhibition Contest!

Let's watch Superbowl Media Day!

Let's watch the Draft !



It's all a scam. WE'VE BEEN HOODWINKED, CHEATED, BAMBOOZLED AND BUTT-frickED WITH AN AIDS ELEPHANT DICK!

* The NFL reserves the right to control the dissemination of any image of their product to include the official NFL Saints Fleur de Lis image and the image of the little dancing Saints player wearing a non-regulation helmet with non-regulation face mask.**

** NFL rules are arbitrarily and inconsistently enforced on a play-to-play basis, so, ignore the previous notification.

Yes. Showing the play on a newscast would fall under the fair use doctrine.

The NFL’s legal protections extend primarily into the area of rebroadcast of games and the use of logos and copyrighted images without their permission.

They cannot stop a legitimate news organization from showing a :15 second clip of a newsworthy event. Fox is not showing the clip because they are going along with the NFL’s very likely terse request not to do so. The NFL’s lawyers are probably trying to strong-arm the media using that policy as its argument. Fox is just saying “okay” because they don’t want to deal with the legal bullshite.

Any real journalist knows they can walk into a courtroom and win on this issue. The problem, however, is that news organizations a) don’t know their rights and laws very well and b) do whatever their ownership tells them to do.

Is this even true or are people just taking the gospel of one guy? I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere.

Why did CSP throw on 1st

please, please DO NOT be football ignorant like most of the rant. PLEASE!

it was the right call. had brees thrown it right we have a TD there.

Did you hear Mickey Loomis's response at Sr. Bowl to question about; " Has he heard from the NFL about Sundays game"?

He just mumbled some jiberish.

The Saints may be complicit in this cover up. Maybe the Saints got paid off too. Why did CSP throw on 1st and 2nd down during the end of regulation? Any pee wee coach would have not done what he did.

Drew checked out of a run play because of the coverage he saw. If he throws a better ball there it’s probably a 1st down or maybe even a td.

This is looking like 2009 when the NFL tried to muscle in on Who Dat merchandising.

The NFL continues to be the brand that can't stop making itself look ignorant.

NFL Films own all the video and audio and you must have expressed written consent to use the both. They say it every game on TV. They can give and take away the consent to use the video.
