Apparently they been reading: "A Dummy's Guide to suing your own customers for enjoying your product" by the RIAA.

come and get me fuckers. i got a 60" now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it doesn't count if it's an HD TV? Nah I'm going down for this too it seems.

they go through this every super bowl, did it last year too

what if its 55 and one half inches? they still gonna getters me?

At least they're picking on churches, that's kind of cool. http://www.gaymainstreet.com/TheStre.../misc/1483.gif

I guess I'm fucked.

imbelciles whose employees (nfl players) who go down for drugs, steroids, drunk driving and weapons violations shouldn't thrown stones.

the nfl has too many problems of its own to be slinging shit.
only makes them look like fools.

"Aiello said the league has a longstanding policy against ?mass out-of-home viewings? of the Super Bowl, even if the hosts don?t charge admission. The NFL makes an exception to that, however, for sports bars that show televised sports on a regular basis."

They don't care what you do in your own home, they just don't want organizations profiting from their product without getting a piece of the pie. That I don't see anything wrong with...especially considering they give most bars a pass and appear to be targeting church's. :winkwink:

Looks like I am screwed as well. :upsidedow

i have tv envy...only 47" over here :(

WOO HOO I am safe with my 13" B&W.

You're not teh greatest media spinner BA. That is law and has been around for centuries...and it's not only for screens in excess of 55"...it's illegal to charge access to watch anything, regardless of the size of your tv unless you own the copyrights for it or have written consent.

The MSNBC article said the NFL doesn't care if someone charges or not:

Personally, in this day and age of HDTV, the old 55" rule seems kind of asinine don't you think?

I think it is just plain silly. I could see going after people who charge admission to profit by it. But all the guys getting together for a superbowl on a big screen tv? Oh brother.
