NBA-Live screenshot used

Go to the section about the new Boston Celtics jersey and the link directs you to the link below which is a picture taken from the NLSC.

http://www.nba-live.com/frannn/jerseys/ ... c/bos1.jpg

Wow this sites quite popular, Im wondering whether ESPN got permission to use this screenshot?
If they didnt, Andrew can sue them or Frannn. :wink:

:cool:

Wow :shock: that's pretty interesting, although they probably should've asked for permission to be honest.

Jezus, they even directly linked to it. :|

I mean, if you're going to take something without asking (which I'll assume they didn't do) atleast upload it to Imageshack to try and cover your tracks, they should learn something from Mazocchi.

i take it they didn't need permission but i'll get back to ya on this after my law exam in which a Q exactly like this scenario will be asked....i forgot, gotta re-study.

EDIT: while i'm on a legal thing here, cracks (like for Live 2006) are NOT ILLEGAL as long as they are not for commercial use (i.e sale). There's nothing wrong with creating a crack, and sharing it with the world as long as you don't sell it.

Internet Laws I think aren't defined clearly actually and I don't think the NLSC holds any rights to copyright... and it's not liek ESPN is stealing any ideas and just a picture. In this case, is it stealing?

Great find no matter what! (Y)

The Uni-Watch always links to remote sites. They just go on a pic-jacking spree.

It's alright that it's not illegal, it's still not permitted at the NLSC. :)

Not my style. Besides, I'm pretty sure they've had mentions on large sites and in magazines before. Enthusiasm drives the unofficial fansite, but recognition is nice. ;)

they never said where the preview came from.. it would've been much better if they stated that it came from nba-live.com.. but oh well, i've got nothing against them putting my preview there.. hehe it's all good. :) :mrgreen:

Change the pic (ie. delete it and upload another one with the same filename) to something like pr0n or something gross. :lol:

It's a direct link, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as ESPN didn't exactly download the picture and put it on their servers.

If you're not gonna change it to something offensive (which is a great idea), you could ad 'nba-live.com' or something like that (y)
