they are all a bunch of rules that arnt enforced on the mirco level. they are trying, at least im assuming, to keep people from starting their own company to cover the games. if they are public property(no copyright restrictions on it) then i could take those games, rebroadcast them, sell advertisment for it, run my own sportscenter type program and do everything espn pays to be able to do, but for free. they arnt after the guys standing around the watercooler talking about last nights game, but if you openly allow that which im not even sure applys to them, but for the sake of your argument i wont question it, then you open loopholes for other things to happen. its just stopping a problem before it starts, or hell, maybe correcting one from a while back, i dont know
