What's the big shock here? Like it or not someone has bought the rights to broadcast FL clips and its not any of us.
Yes, companies try to protect their copyright in all fields. It's nothing new or surprising.
The fixtures are deemed intellectual property as they are a very complex creation. Agaiin nothing new and goes back to the 1930s and battles with the pools companies to make them pay for the use of the fixtures.
Is the email to Beds a case of breaking a butterfly on a wheel? Yes but it's a standard email to anyone whose posted be it one clip or one hundred. The video clip is youtube covering their back. If you do it again they can say "you knew the rules so we're in the clear".
So they (youtube) aren't sued by the FL for allowing the breach of copyright.
No doubt they have already been warned that they will be sued if they don't take the action Beds described.
We can moan as much as we like but in the big bad real world rights and licences are taken very seriously be it drugs (legal variety) music, software, brand names or broadcast rights.
Become a copyright lawyer young man and become very rich : - )

cheers for the advice but I want be a sports reporter/journalist/commentator or a cyclist even though I doubt that'll happen no matter what the money is for any of them.

No, you want to be a copyright lawyer. You may not realise it now but you do : - )
Pardew must be fuming howc else is he going to work out what players to sign
Ah-hah!
I've heard it said by many (see what I did there, big winky smiley thing) that apparently (did it again) Pardew watches compilations of "top players" , (my italics).
So all you need do, like Suzi Soss suggested, is be a bit random with the title.......for example, Charlton's goal against Tranmere Rovers FC, gets a title like "tranny penalised" - weh-hey, everybody thinks the clip is about a transvestite dressing up in ladies' clothing in public and nicked by OB......no one in the media will cotton on, as all the Manure (sorry, did I really say that?) clones or nearly everyone else doesn't even know which teams are in the effing Third Division.
So I'm with Suzi here, nods as good as a wink to a blind bat or whatever.
So a company pays a huge amount of money to be able to show something, then wants to stop other people showing it for free.
I don't see the problem, as others have said, you agree to abide by the rules when you enter the ground, if, as a result of your own ignorance, you don't know the rules you are agreeing to, that really is your own fault.
Now I'm off for a cig in the north upper toilets :-)
