Major League Baseball and Highlight Clips

A few days ago, I posted a blog entry on the Detroit Tigers 6-5 come from behind victory over the Chicago White Sox. I included a video of the game winning hit, Placido Polanco's game winning single. Today, that video-clip was removed from YouTube as an alleged violation of Major League Baseball's copyright. I don't know very much about the law in this area, but my good buddy and fellow University of Michigan Law Student, Kurt, who writes his own great blog over @ Clever WoT, has studied the issue of internet copyright quite a bit and is working on a note now about YouTube and fair use video clips. Kurt has some analysis of Major League Baseball's takedown of my video, and its well worth checking out. Interesting stuff.

If you want to learn more on this, Baseball Musings had some discussion and there's a good amount of links you can read backwards through.
