MLB wants to control and "properly" monetize their stuff.
In a truly competitive environment, MLB should be paying him for the interest he creates in their product, rather than them taking away a possible revenue stream of his.
Suppose for a second that Legally speaking, even though using TV footage under the right circumstances would still be fair use, if they tried to claim copyright infringement on footage the uploader had shot from the game, the uploader could counter-claim for copyright misuse. This same theory could also be tested with NFL and NBA games. You misunderstand me. Beg pardon for the confusion.That wasn't in support of copyright or MLB either, it was pointing out that, unlike a DMCA claim, the system here gives people no rights.
"Why Is MLB Claiming Revenue From Obviously Fair Use Videos On YouTube? They're watching it to get Jomboy's insight, humor, lip reading skills and such. “That’s not the way I want to hear it, for everybody else to hear it,’’ Torre said Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. Welcome to Uncorked with Joe Maddon! This day and age... 99% of all copyright is copyfraud. MLB's head of discipline (and a former Yankee manager himself), Joe Torre is apparently really really upset about these hot mic videos that have gotten fans so … I think it's funny as fuck every time these copyright apologists keep leveraging what IP laws say or don't say to claim the benefits of reporters and reviewers, under the argument that copyright law hasn't been updated to keep up - but when copyright law is framed as the loophole or problem, watch them backpedal and insist that "it's not copyright's fault". That may take a new legal framework to achieve in a manner that benefits those that actually create the content, rather than the gatekeepers. That might be in the agreement where the allow the broadcasters to record the games, I'm not sure. Max Scherzer strikes out Vladimir Guerrero + Vladimir Guerrero Jr, 10 years apart To a great extent, you are probably right about that, and also somewhat probably wrong. The creating content cost has gone up, and there should be a good mechanism to recoup those costs.
Our National Pastime All the Time. What took the video from normal great to amazing was that it revealed Here is the full sequence of the Boone ejection. This is probably another instance of a private right granted by Youtube on pretense of copyright, which would make it technically not copyfraud.

Copyright was primarily established to make sure the publisher was able to recoup costs, plus some profit, to get the materials printed and distributed to the widest possible audience. In other words, the rightsholder agrees not to issue DMCA takedowns to YouTube or its users in exchange for submitting the content through its Content ID system. "Because they can, and to date there is nothing to stop them.
Copyright had been expanded and bastardized well beyond the original intent, and allowed this current ownership culture to become what it is. It makes it easy to make my decision.” Sure, they can change the policies at any time, but doing so comes with no lasting account penalty for the user.Regarding fair use, they simply assume more people will not contest the notices they get, which is merely monetization. No one is watching these videos as a replacement for MLB content. The preponderance of that information has become more common lately, as microphones have picked up what’s said on the field, leaving little to the imagination. Hot mics galore. Recording gameplay on the camera in your phone means you own the copyright to that footage, and the underlying gameplay is not copyrightable the same way as, say, a recording of a concert or a Broadway musical. But it also shows that because it is the control of the copyright that caused that shift in monetary value and the failure of the fair use claim makes it about copyright.

That’s what I’ve heard over and over. (And that's not to mention that their "account of the game" statement in their copyright disclaimers can't legally hold water under the fair use doctrine!) Copyright is about control, when in the hands of big companies. Don't worry, baseball is slowly dying. But it gets dumber, and it involves out and out copyfraud. On our first episode, the Angels manager chats with Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians while unwinding with some red wine.
I think they should go back to 14 years with a paid for extension and no ability to transfer it to anyone else, contract or not.If you think explaining the way things work today to someone who asked is pro copyright, then you need to address your ability to discern motives. It's a That video alone went crazy viral and launched an even more viral meme in the phrase "fucking savages," that is now on So, first of all, this is incredibly dumb on MLB and Torre's part.
