Decision handed down in Fantasy Baseball stats suit that I have been covering for years on this website: Turns Out Major League Baseball Doesn't Own Stats, After All / Coleman: Overreaching, Part XXVII — Major League Bozos, confirmed. Patry: Right result, reasoning shaky.
Previously: Do Fantasy Stats Violate Copyright?
And with Fantasy Football (and the real NFL season) fast approaching, Public Knowledge reports on a rather important FCC decision on the NFL Network:
We are pleased that the Media Bureau upheld its decision requiring Time Warner to reinstate the NFL Network to more than one million cable subscribers. This dispute shows perfectly why Net Neutrality is necessary. The cable model, with the cable operator as gatekeeper of content, should not be applied to the Internet, but the danger is that it will without strong non-discrimination legislation.
And for anyone interested we might have a spot or two available in the Blawger Bowl III Fantasy Footbal League. Email if you are interested.
