I May Have To Stop Blogging


At least according to the latest news from the NY Times. Some SEC affiliates don't appreciate their fans reporting game time activities. Although they didn't report what websites are in so called violations, they did report that numerous cellphones and videos are able to place game day activities and up to the minute plays online, without authorization. With big contracts signed with ESPN and CBS the likes of the SEC and other big name conferences hope to curtail the latest online activity. However they know that it is highly unlikely to draw the line in social networks who promote their conferences, networks like Facebook and Twitter. But ,"the line is drawn at game footage video," Mr. Brown said. "We want to protect our rights to have video between the conference and it's members, and ban the commercial sale of photo images. Fans can post photos on their site or facebook page, but they can't be for sale."
