Your opinions are not the law.

What part of ...."NO PORTION OF THIS BROADCAST" is hard to understand?
lol
Good gosh.

It's not a felony and I'll admit that but it is stealling what someone claims they don't want stolen.

peace

Come on guys, no need to argue about legality, thats not why we are here. And Sammy is right dude, he just doesnt want this site to be shutdown, if anyone has a copy of that game, then send a private message to the original dude who wanted one.

[QUOTE=Sammy Baugh Fan]If the site wants to go on your advice that is their choice.

I stand by my original statement that trading, distubuting and promoting of taping and posting video from NFL games is illegal as stated in every single one of their broadcast trasmitions.

Maybe we should ask JoeRedskin an actual Lawyer.

Again...all I came to do was to warn.[/QUOTE]

Copyright law is not my specialty, and Ive never handled a case like this, but my understanding of the law is that this issue was already litigated back when VHS was the hot item. Television broadcast companies cried foul when people recorded their shows to watch them later. I believe the ruling was that if the game/show is recorded for your own personal use, then its not a copyright infringement. Again, the key issue is money. Which, if you look at some of the Ebay auctions, they will sell you something trivial like a football trading card, but they will ask something outrageous like $15 bucks and throw in a copy of some game as their "special free gift". Just my 2 cents.

Re: Need some serious help, from skins fans
 

Just to clarify something.

I live outside the USA. I get the Skins games on DVD by a licensed outlet in Europe. They are not allowed to sell back tothe USA under licensing T's & C's, but can sell them anyhere else. They are basically just the telecast recorded and popped on DVD.

The biggest problem I see with the NFL is they don't look at selling the games on DVD within the USA, at least not in uneditted form (AFAIK). This is probably something to do with the advertising revenue.

As to the issue with the original poster, I doubt anyone in the NFL will care if someone who paid to watch the game sends him a recording for his own use without making a profit, for the simple reason that both sender and reeciver have paid to view the game and neither is making a financial profit. Media companies tend to only sue for loss of revenue, and there is as far as I can see no loss of revenue for them.
