FSB Daily 5/2: British Court, British Fantasy, Pickemfirst
Sunday, May 2nd, 2010A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.
- A British High Court recently ruled that the schedules for English Premier League soccer teams are copyrighted material, and thus cannot be freely displayed in outlets such as newspapers and non-EPL websites. The ruling came as part of a suit brought by the EPL against, among others, a British subsidiary of Yahoo!. The court apparently said the work that goes into building the schedule justifies a copyright. Could this ruling embolden an American sporting body?
- A British soccer fan has launched a fantasy game site that allows users to build teams of players from various European professional soccer leagues.
- The Pickemfirst browser add-on tool for fantasy owners is now available for Google Chrome as well.
