Need some serious help, from skins fans

[scowan]

Guys, I don't know the rules on this, but if sharing a copy of a game or "plays" from a game is illegal, then we have guys in trouble every week for "sharing" thier highlights from the last week's game. I am sure they are not getting permission from the NFL. Not to stir up a can of worms here because I am the first one to say I enjoy BJ's highlights and Skin-fanatic's highlights very much. So I hope the NFL lets it slide a little for things like that. No one is making money on these highlights as far as I know

As long as your not making any money your fine. Like the NFL cares if you send a fellow fan a DVD of the game. Just don't try to sell them and it will never be a problem.

Whats the point in fighting over something like this? I do not hink it is illegal to put games on DVD. If you check eBay there are games forsale all the time on DVD. Im not saying that this makes it right, but I would think if its really a big deal then they would crack down on it there. Either way you both have your opinions and im definitely not trying to change either one. My own opinion is that if your making a dvd of the game for your own personal collection then there isnt much of a problem I don't think.
Opinions are like assholes, we all have one and they all stink.

lol
Your opinions are not the law.

What part of ...."NO PORTION OF THIS BROADCAST" is hard to understand?
lol
Good gosh.

It's not a felony and I'll admit that but it is stealling what someone claims they don't want stolen.

peace

Come on guys, no need to argue about legality, thats not why we are here. And Sammy is right dude, he just doesnt want this site to be shutdown, if anyone has a copy of that game, then send a private message to the original dude who wanted one.

Just to clarify something.

I live outside the USA. I get the Skins games on DVD by a licensed outlet in Europe. They are not allowed to sell back tothe USA under licensing T's & C's, but can sell them anyhere else. They are basically just the telecast recorded and popped on DVD.

The biggest problem I see with the NFL is they don't look at selling the games on DVD within the USA, at least not in uneditted form (AFAIK). This is probably something to do with the advertising revenue.

As to the issue with the original poster, I doubt anyone in the NFL will care if someone who paid to watch the game sends him a recording for his own use without making a profit, for the simple reason that both sender and reeciver have paid to view the game and neither is making a financial profit. Media companies tend to only sue for loss of revenue, and there is as far as I can see no loss of revenue for them.
