C-SPAN Has Video Pulled From YouTube & IFILM
In addition to E-bay being on the "watch" list, you might want to add both YouTube and IFILM.

C-SPAN recently aired the White House Correspondents Dinner, which included a performance by comedian Stephen Colbert.

Shortly after the C-SPAN copyrighted event aired, Colbert's segment showed on both YouTube and IFILM websites.

C-SPAN contacted the two websites because the copyrighted material was posted online without its permission.  Both YouTube and IFILM complied with the request and the video was removed.

Great Games: Football
USC vs. California (September 27, 2003)

(Berkeley, CA) Cal’s Tyler Fredrickson made a 38-yard field goal to end a third overtime battle as California upset No. 3 Southern California 34-31. The upset ended the Trojans’ 11-game winning streak with a victory that stretched past dusk and decades of history. Ryan Killeen, who tied the game with a 33-yard field goal for the Trojans with 16 seconds left in regulation, missed a 39-yard field goal moments before Fredrickson’s kick. Golden Bears QB Reggie Robertson relieved starting QB Aaron Rogers in the third quarter and passed for 217 yards and two scores, while RB Adimchinobe Echemandu rushed for 147 yards. Trojans QB Matt Leinart overcame a shaky start to go 21-of-39 for 277 yards, but was intercepted three times. WR Mike Williams had six receptions for 96 yards, while WR Keary Colbert had eight catches for 81 yards and an overtime TD, who overcame a 14-point second-half deficit.

NCAA CURRENT STUDENT-ATHLETES PHOTO SALES

The proposed legislation to allow third parties to sell photographs of current student athletes in the same manner as the sale of highlights and media guides has been defeated

NCAA Rationale: Many athletics departments contract with individuals to serve as staff photographers.  These individuals provide the photos for media guides, promotional materials, website use, etc.  In this day and age of digital photography, many of these photographers have websites set up to sell their photographs to individuals for personal use. These websites are controlled by the photographer and are maintained separately from any institution.  Current legislation prohibits the sale of these photos by anyone other than the member institution.  By allowing institutions to specifically designate another party to sell and distribute photographs from the individual's website in a manner similar to that for media guides and highlight films, institutions can avoid the cost and time involved with funneling the sale of these photographs through the institution.  This legislation would only apply to the sale of photographs (as opposed to any other commercial item) and is consistent with recent interpretations issued by NCAA Division I Legislative Review/Interpretations Committee.

For further information on this ruling, please contact CI's business affairs staff.
