Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

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.

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

Wow

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!

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.

Good chance for some free exposure.

Gonna rub it into all Dotorg folk eh.

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.
Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:35 pm
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.
Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:36 pm
Sue them.
Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:43 pm
Change the pic (ie. delete it and upload another one with the same filename) to something like pr0n or something gross.
Wed Nov 02, 2005 10:44 pm

that's a great idea
Wed Nov 02, 2005 11:05 pm
I've thought of that too... if not porn...maybe a message to ESPN or something
Thu Nov 03, 2005 12:01 am
YES!! change the image to something else lol
Upload that homer humping frank castle picture
Thu Nov 03, 2005 12:05 am
Thats one of the best ideas Ive heard in a long time.
You guys should seriously do that.
Thu Nov 03, 2005 12:17 am
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.
Thu Nov 03, 2005 1:24 am
I'm not involved with this conversation at all but someone please change the picture into something pornographic for my amusement.

(seeing as it's the only nlsc thread i've read in a long time :pray: )
Thu Nov 03, 2005 2:12 am
Sshhush please, we're trying to change the pic.
Thu Nov 03, 2005 3:09 am
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
Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:45 am
C'mon do it
