I guess you never noticed that every one of the clips shown (which is what is being discussed) says 'courtesy of
And show me the SCOTUS decision that says it is OK to use someone else's copyrighted material for reporting the news. If the clip itself was news you may have a fair use argument, but the clip is never the news, it is what the clip shows that is news, so there is no fair use argument for using the clip.
No, they cant. Why do you think they can?
I am not sure why you responded to me with that. I agree with everything you said. I was just responding to the dope who said it could not be copyrighted because it was not in fixed form. It is considered in fixed form because it is being simultaneously recorded by the NFL/network.
So you're trying to claim that they don't have a recording of exactly what went out over the air, and that every time they rerun it they are recreating the broadcast? Good one!
No, that is not what it means at all. The accounts, descriptions, and images that they are talking about are the ones from their telecast, not accounts and descriptions you create.
Completely wrong. The only thing that is under penalty of perjury in the DC is the statement that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder.
If you are going to claim to 'know the law' then you should know the law. Particularly this sentence:
A work consisting of sounds, images, or both, that are being transmitted, is “fixed” for purposes of this title if a fixation of the work is being made simultaneously with its transmission.
Wrong. The NFL says the BROADCAST descriptions and accounts are copyrighted. Plenty of other places have their own accounts and descriptions.
Last year they gave up their bonuses. This year they brought them back.
What does GMO have to do with that? You could convert *all* corn to a non GMO crop and have the exact same problem.
Heh, missed that.
How do you square selling a piece of land to private parties?
Wifi only works because of the very short range it has. And more to the point, if your Wifi does not work because of interefence from someone else there is nothing you can do about it.
And how do you 'know' this? There are many plants that secrete insecticide.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
