Re: tony g vs. cardplayer
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.

[/ QUOTE ] I just want to add that this would be a great time for Tony G to tell his people to report things better also. How people "triple up" from something like 12K to 60K on a hand is beyond me. I realize that these reports get generated often from someone who saw half the hand- or had it retold to them and their pen ran out of ink and they had to memorize and recount the action... but c'mon. That said- I hope if Cardplayer is blatantly doing this that they stop and or get caught redhanded. fwiw- how about throwing in some random fake names? When Ignacio Peter Freeleigh shows up at cardplayer after having been listed thru pokernews I think we can safely assume Matt Groening had nothing to do with it.

[/ QUOTE ] They did, although in that case the video proved nothing, other than that a Bluff writer was viewing CardPlayer.com
