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.
