Fuck the NFL

heh, the copyright laws make 100% sense which is why i didn't even go into it. why should they spend millions, no billions of dollars to have this league, then have some joe shmoe charge $5 a head to come to his bar/house/restaurant/whatever and charge money to watch a game he does not own, and furthermore does not give you money for in return for using your property? you must draw a legal line somewhere, otherwise whats stopping someone from renting an arena out? nothing. you have to remember its not that thye are trying to stop just the people with 55' tv's from doing this, its anyone with a 55' or larger, that include 8 ft. projections, or a 20ft jumbotron. you cant be a stadium owner and sell tickets to your empty stadium and broadcast the superbowl. if there were no copyright laws what would be anyones incentive to try and make anything unique? this is day one of law and economics we're talking here, not in depth copyright infringement cases.

Yes...and this is why we should prevent church groups and other assemblies from putting together any sort of party for the superbowl for any reason whatsoever (if that sounds stupid when I saying it, just think how stupid it is when you think it). I'm not saying that people looking to profit from an event by violating copyright laws shouldn't be stopped...but rather that the laws clearly relfect that. Obviously some greedy dipshit who wants to rent out an arena and cast the thing on a jumbotron while charging folks is out of line...but the same law shouldn't apply to the guy with a big screen who has a big house party. And the fact that the NFL opted to shut down at least one CHURCH gathering is just that much more pathetic. What's wrong with a bunch of people who would've watched the game anyway watching it together where there is no profit being made? Nobody gets hurt, so why does the NFL have their satin lace panties in a twist? I, of course, assume they wear satin lace panties because they are a bunch of pussies the likes of which this world has ever known. You know, the kind of small minded twats who hide behind a "macho" game in which players constantly grab each other's asses for the most pedestrian of tasks to mask the inadequate size of their genitalia and/or their homoerotic tendencies. That's right...everyone in the NFL who has every grabbed another guy's ass after a play is gay. There...I said it. A simple handshake wouldn't do. Nooooo...you've gotta pinch the other guy's ass. That's totally and absolutely hetero.
