MLB has no idea what it's doing when it comes to fan engagement with their game. They are going after YouTube channels that discuss -- (edited)

games and use highlights. One in particular is bothering me this morning and it's a wonderful channel called Close Call Sports. This woman Lindsay does a breakdown of close calls and explains why the ruling was right or wrong. She does a great job of explaining everything and only uses a short highlight of the play in question to breakdown what happened.
People like her are great for the game of baseball. Old and new fans alike watch her channel to get a better understanding of the game but MLB has decided that she's a copyright thief and are going after her channel. She's not alone but a good example of a person/league/company going after the wrong people. Her channel and others like it only help the sport grow and be better understood. I wish there was someone I could complain to about their actions.

If you're going after her, isn't Jomboy like Al Capone? -- nm - Reagen May 28, 05:33 1
- Yup. He uses much more video and for much longer. Both are great for the game and should be left alone to keep making their videos. -- nm - Krusty May 28, 05:44

Seems like a pretty clear cut fair use argument to me. -- nm - znufrii May 28, 05:20 4
- Express written consent -- nm - rollo May 28, 06:18 2
  - Yeah, I think mlb can do this. It sucks and feels wrong, but everyone watching a baseball game has heard that disclaimer. -- nm - Inigo May 28, 06:41 1
    - I don't as there are exceptions to the law and two are criticism and comment. Both of which are the basis for her use of the - Krusty May 28, 07:36
- It does but the system YouTube uses doesn't make it easy to dispute these false claims. -- nm - Krusty May 28, 05:43
