... the NFL then made the mistake...

I agree 100%. I think thats pretty stupid on their part. Big Business is so damn sensitive these days and so hard up on trying to sue or intimidate people its crazy. They really need to get over their self and stop looking to get over for reasons that arent that serious. I could see if somebody was airing a superbowl or some other NFL related game before they did.

Ok my question is...if the NFL is demanding that this be taken down...then why are they not demanding that copies of the infamous Janet Jackson halftime show be removed from legal sites as well?? I mean that was placed on YouTube and seen by millions, yet you never heard a peep about it from the NFL. If not, then why not?

all this bitch did was counter a takedown notice wich forces the quandry to court, the nfl didnt know that aprently, and who would? the dmca is 60 pages long!

bitch?

Here's my basis for opposing copyrights:

Ideas like this from Thomas Jefferson, an old-school agrarian, make some people mad:

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.

The idea of patent rights and intellectual property was discussed among the Federalists. James Madison is the one who argued for a clause in the Constitution to protect these things, but even they made no claims that ideas could be properly considered “property”. Madison and others simply believed that it was in the best interests of the country to give some extra incentive to stimulate progress. [Beware of governments attempting to stimulate progress] Jefferson said that might possibly be true, but he had seen no evidence of it. He said that he would agree to a limited protection of copyrights, but only if for an expressly stated period of time after which the works would enter the public domain. He feared that even this would lead to government controlled monopolies and the restriction of the flow of ideas, and that it would mushroom into protections for other types of ideas. He was right. Nowadays we even have lawsuits filed by dance choreographers alleging that someone “stole” their dance steps.

Here’s another quote that will irritate the defenders of the restriction of liberty through un-Biblical intellectual property laws:

The general rule of law is, that noblest of human productions— knowledge, truths, and ideas—become, after voluntary communication to others, free as the air to common use.” Justice Louis Brandeis, 1918

"If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission, and offer my sword to the other side." --Ulysses S. Grant

Well, that is two big companies in 1 week that seemed to have "stumbled" over themselves and the law. Good for them. I hope that the courts handle these issues accordingly and don’t just sweep it under the rug.

I recall somebody once saying that being the prince is better because everybody is always trying to kill the king. When are these companies going to recognize that and be content with all of the money that they already have?

Georgeluv:

All this WOMAN, ATTORNEY, PERSON, PROFESSOR (any other choice of pronouns would have been more appropriate and insightful) did was to enforce her rights, my rights, and YOUR rights as well.

These companies pay MANY lawyers a TON OF MONEY. Chances are that they KNEW they were in violation but didn't realize who was at the other end of the line. Probably suspecting the usual suspects of teens, college kids and people who cannot DEFEND THEMSELVES these lawyers (whom you should have called the nasty names) willfully violated the law over something as ridiculous as a COPY of a copyright notice!

They should get what they deserve and honestly, your post should get what it deserves!
