Need some serious help, from skins fans

[Ralo Dirtbags]

I went to Phoenix for the skins vs. cardinals game and I didn't get to set my TIVO. (I know major screw up) Please if any one has that game on TIVO, I will do anything to get a copy of that game on DVD. There were more skins fans at that game than cardinals. I know this is a big season and I have every game except this one and the first Dallas game. Please , fellow skins fans help a brotha out. If their is anyone out there that can help me please respond.

I hate to be a party pooper but I must warn that every NFL broadcast has the disclaimer/warrning that......

"No portions, description and bla bla bla of this game may be copied, used and bla bla bla without the express written permission of the NFL and the "Home Team""

I would be very careful how we all deal with this subject and CYA "Cover Your Tail"

peace

The NFL doesnt have the time nor resources to stake out everyone that Tivo's their games. It's not till you start trying to somehow make money off it that they'll get involved.

It's illegal but chances are you won't get caught is not great advice bro.

I guess the typical American attitude of "I know it's a law but it doesn't apply to me" fits here then. "I know it's a Fire Lane but I just was running in for a soda".

Well, I can always link to this thread with an "I told you so" if needed. I warned ya.

peace and hail Skins

I just bought my tickets on eBay. So the Family Romano will be there to root The Skins on to victory. That is if they can actually hear us from Row S of the upper deck.

yell loud so we can hear ya on tv.man am i REALLY jealous

This is not an NFL policy, but a copyrite notice. Like the circled C on your cd's or books, the NFL can not claim copyrite without providing notice.

Sammy Baugh -- Im sure you're the perfect citizen. Please post when you get a speeding ticket so I can give you an "I told you so."

Lose the attitude.

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

I'm not perfect but don't fault me for looking out for the site's interest.

At age 22 you still have much to learn.

So, my point is correct but you choose to change the subject and attack me? Lose the attitude and grow up bro.

peace

I know someone who sold games on ebay and were kicked off ebay for selling them,ithink they were turned in by other sellers that were jealous of their product,because there is too much selling of games on ebay.theres people on there with feedback ratings of of over 500 that have been selling games for years and havent been kicked off,when my friend reported them to ebay nothing happened,I wonder if they dont work for ebay

How did I change the subject, yes I'm twenty-two, however I can safely say the NFL rarely if ever goes after anyone for recording games. Let me ask you, how many unlicensed games do you have on VHS somewhere?

The site can't be faulted by the NFL unless the game is hosted on the site itself. Then they could pitch a fit. As of now the NFL could look at this thread and not do anything.

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

If the site wants to go on your advice that is their choice.

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.
