Judge rules statistics not intellectual property of MLB

[highnote]

This quote from the article should sound familiar racing fans:

Glenn Colton, a New York lawyer who wrote a friend of the court brief for the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, said the statistics licensing issue is critical to the industry.

"The idea on MLB's part is if you can scare all of the little companies out of the market," Colton said, "you can collect more money."

A good and correct ruling. What is copyrighted is the format.

Since you did not say anything in your thread starter, I will comment on whatever aspect of the story I feel like!:
LOL! Judge MEDLER!LOL!
a previous thread has a post (maybe mine!) about a similar ruling NBA from years past.
The article does not mention how the fantasy league is getting around not using copyrighted logos.
MLB and Commissioner "tie game" do not understand what 12 million fans more or less means!
Like I said before, the NTRA or someone should start a "fantasy TBred trainers' league".
