Legal Question - SERIOUS THREAD
 

Okay question about internet TV...

If one wanted to broadcast live TV online...

I believe its illegal to broadcast TV channels that you pay for thru cable tv...

But is it illegal to broadcast TV thats available via antennas? Like ABC...FOX...CBS...the local channels...

How does that work? Anyone know? Yes I know I should seek legal advice...But I figured I'd ask in here as well :-P

Thanks!

You make my elbow itch.... :Oh crap

I'd say, speaking with no legal education, that you can't redistribute a broadcast you don't own.

To re-broadcast it for free without adding any of your own advertising might be O.K. in some sense, just "amplifying" their "signal"? lol ... but as soon as you make any profit from it, I'm sure there would be significant legal ramifications.

you dont have the right to RE BROADCAST it somewhere else. no.
not only that... there are serious issues with advertising and the internet.

here is an idea
its zany and whacky
but how bout you contact a lawyer for your legal advice?


spaz

you can't just steal shit and do what you want with it "as long as you dont profit from it"

Well theres quite a few people in here that can save me the hastle...Was just a random question

you cant do it legally

not saying people havent done it but its not legal

haven't you ever seen an NBA game with that disclaimer about rebroadcasting without the "expressed written permission of the nba"?

what he said.. or eeeh.. ehm.. :helpme

If you have to ask such a question at GFY then not only do you need the advice of a good lawyer but I think you need a clue.

good luck with that, heh
