NEW YORK - The “League-That-Must-Not-Be-Named (LTMNBN) announced yesterday that they would be prosecuting fans who make un-permitted videos about the LTMNBN..
“We will be severely litigating our passionate fans,” stated some guy who has too much time on his hands.. “Our fans have no rights to this league, players or content either in digital form or not. It is entirely illegal to attempt to make a video of the action or players within this league unless you pay REDACTED thousands of dollars.”
According to fans of LTMNBN teams, the potential prosecution of their videos will stop any creative ideas they had going forward.
“I was going to make a season recap that I would share with my friends on Facebook, but I guess the league doesn’t want that word of mouth,” stated one anonymous fan of THAT-ONE-TEAM.
“I usually put together videos of players from the national team, but even that is probably going to be out of bounds now if it contains any footage of teams in REDACTED or possibly even US Soccer because of their ties with REDACTED,” stated Jimmy Williams, a 10 year supporter of THAT-OTHER-TEAM.
“My project covering REDACTED and REDACTED, next year, is officially cancelled. I guess I can finally spend the time on a healthier obsession,” stated another anonymous fan of ANOTHER-TEAM.
For their part, the League-That-Must-Not-Be-Named stated that they weren’t looking to punish fans as they stated, “We are just trying to ensure that we control the video quality of all games in REDACTED. We are turning over all control of all future videos to the group that is currently quarter-assing their effort at making and distributing game recap videos for the past few years. Hopefully the video group are going to take this as a challenge and actually make something that people want to watch.”
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as branded content videos that show a lot of slow motion cuts and avoid any mention of any kind of controversy eventually come a few months later to a website near you….. but not available on other internet websites immediately because you gotta drive traffic to a place where you control the advertising revenue… RIGHT?!
