I stand by my original statement that trading, distubuting and promoting of taping and posting video from NFL games is illegal as stated in every single one of their broadcast trasmitions.
Maybe we should ask JoeRedskin an actual Lawyer.
Again...all I came to do was to warn.

Copyright law is not my specialty, and Ive never handled a case like this, but my understanding of the law is that this issue was already litigated back when VHS was the hot item. Television broadcast companies cried foul when people recorded their shows to watch them later. I believe the ruling was that if the game/show is recorded for your own personal use, then its not a copyright infringement. Again, the key issue is money. Which, if you look at some of the Ebay auctions, they will sell you something trivial like a football trading card, but they will ask something outrageous like $15 bucks and throw in a copy of some game as their "special free gift". Just my 2 cents.
