B.A.A. won't allow Boston GoPro footage to be posted on YouTube

It would take these posters about 30 minutes of searching to learn these basics, but they keep trying to insist it's not true, like they don't want it to be.

Aren't they sports fans? It's great that you can make your own sports videos, isn't it? I guess they disagree.

Yes, that's exactly how copyright works. You absolutely can sell your own videos of the Super Bowl and the Olympics if you manage to film it all without getting booted from the stadium.

You cannot sell photos of art from MOMA (if the art is still under copyright), because that's simply a copy of a work that's fixed in a tangible medium. Sporting events are not fixed in a tangible medium, so they can't be protected by copyright.

Wonder when the mods are going to delete this super-important thread that keeps getting bumped, the premise of which is that some guy is too stupid to read a contract before he signs.

I don't know, but good job bumping this super-important thread. Otherwise it would have dropped off the front page and disappeared forever.

Technically if you make money off the video that’s illegal. I’m guessing the BAA assumed he did. Otherwise they would just request you take the video down if it contained footage reserved for sponsors. Normal pictures and highlight reels are allowed but video/audio distractions as a runner supposedly ruins the experience of the race as written in their race statement and agreement form.

Yeah but they’re WRONG! They need to stand down

Technically, you dont know the meaning of "illegal."
