I can't say that I like Tony G very much, but he makes a very strong argument that CardPlayer are ripping of PokerNews/Bluff.
It is a tricky legal argument as to whether sports "scores" (a category of content in which I would include chip-counts) are in the public domain once they have been published or not?
Obviously the news that player X has just won a bracelet when an event is complete is public information. But a running chip-count is a bit more of a grey area.
If someone were to publish them the following day, would that be acceptable use?
No doubt this is one for the lawyers.
