Well apparently FOX sports has decided to get into a spitting match with GBS Sports. They have blocked the week 10 sportscast because of copyright infringement. I guess the Public Service Announcement we ran was actually theirs. Oops! We of course will either fight this to the highest court, or find a sneaky way around it. In any case, if you haven't seen the video, we are working to repost it on this site. In the meantime, I've contacted my attorney at Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe to look into this fro us. Below is the letter I got from youtube:
