I used to watch a lot of hoops, but don't have a lot of time any more lol.
guess we should shut the NDL down then. We started a league up and used likliness from sports athletes without their permission in a copyrighted game that featured QB #12 and not Andrew Luck.

+1. I watch NFL on the internet cause Im too lazy to turn my TV on. I'm a criminal!?!?!? Fuck you cougnix you whiny prickjsence2 wrote:It's not about that for me, actually.
1) PPVs are NOT charged a per-event price in Europe for UFC, you can get them simply by subscribing to a sports package. I'm watching the European feeds.
2) Many of the soccer matches I watch on there are matches I can't get here (Sky Sports, Setanta, ITV, etc) so I must find a feed online. I subscribe to all I can here (Fox Soccer, FS+, etc) and thus I'm simply getting packages I can't get here in the States.
For me, the biggest thing is our government seizing a website that isn't hosted in the United States. It's out of their jurisdiction. that is the upsetting part.

Touche, But hypothetical Q.. Say we coincidentally went on a site, that had a league, and all the names in the game were us from the NDL, and we looked the same. They are not doing anything illegal by using our likliness/names without our permission? (this is actually a Q for the record and not me being a dick)dakshdar wrote:True by technicality only.nick wrote:guess we should shut the NDL down then.

The streaming stuff is a big deal because there is clear and obvious lost revenue. People stream PPV events that they don't pay for, cable broadcasts they don't subscribe to, etc.
Using the name of a person in a video game, when it is not done by the seller of the video game who would in turn potentially profit from use of that name, represents, in the loosest sense, the unauthorized use of a likeness in an artistic work. We, the users of the video game, are in no way profiting from the use of that persons likeness nor are we attempting to use that likeness to advertise some other form of business that we would hope to profit from.
The same holds true for our use of the images of school logos and mascots that we use. If we were creating an online game with these images and mascots and selling that game for profit, you would be clearly in the wrong. If you are using said likenesses for your own personal enjoyment no sane legal department from any school or ogranization is going to go after you. Suggesting otherwise is like saying Duke would come sue me if I painted the Duke "D" on the wall of my rec room. They couldn't care less about stuff like that. It is only when you are cutting them out of a money flow that these groups care.

Man, you're in for the rudest of awakenings if you have a kid, much less twins.DRiccio21 wrote:ahhhh, there it is.... my favorite! 'i don't have time!' (enter my trendon like rant)shel311 wrote:ThisDRiccio21 wrote:eh, football season is over.

how do you not 'have time' to watch hoops?
i mean its not like you actually have to go to the arena, buy tickets, stand in line, find your seat, buy a popcorn and wait 3 hours for it to end.
you turn on the tv, or in this case laptop, and thats it. thats all you do. how do you not have time?
if i can watch thru at least 2 offensive possessions while fucking my girl, you can find a way to catch a few minutes of hoops while babysitting.
I don't know the exact "law" on that.nick wrote: Touche, But hypothetical Q..

Shutting down the feed sites is the first step in then allowing the distributors of the games/channels you can't get to consider selling streams of their channel on their own website.jsence2 wrote: 2) Many of the soccer matches I watch on there are matches I can't get here (Sky Sports, Setanta, ITV, etc) so I must find a feed online.

He is in for awakening of sorts to say. Especially now, (at the 15 month stage) if you take your eye of them for 60 secs you cant even begin to understand just what they can get into. I just put the games on in the background and catch it when I can. If its on Tv Tivo is your best friend. I'm pretty lucky, I get to hang with her everyday I'm not at work from 3pm on while the wife goes to work.shel311 wrote:Man, you're in for the rudest of awakenings if you have a kid, much less twins.DRiccio21 wrote:ahhhh, there it is.... my favorite!
