This is unbelievable exactly true - a blogger had to larn out the stadium because he was posting alive updates of the NCAA baseball game tournament game on his newspaper's website. Even his press credentials were revoked for the law-breaking of "blogging."
The declaration was that alive reporting of a "game inwards progress" violated the broadcasting rights which were sold solely to ESPN as well as CBS.
The NCAA says bloggers tin write nearly the game earlier it starts or later it's over. In between, they tin weblog nearly "the atmosphere, crowd as well as other details," exactly non nearly the game itself.
What's the side past times side restriction for such college sporting events ? No carrying cameras or cellphones within the stadium. No calling friends from the stadium for giving ball-by-ball updates. Wonder if the sporting associations tin command the dozen mediums through which data tin menstruation out of the stadium inwards real-time.
"If I purchase a ticket to a game as well as my blood brother calls my prison theater energy cell telephone as well as asks what the marker is, should I tell him that it would infringe on the NCAA's rights? "
