Media objects to new Major League Baseball web rules
March 3, 2008 · · 1 Comment
News organizations are objecting to new restrictions that Major League Baseball is imposing on them around use of photos, audio and video online.
A group of top news and sports editors is planning to meet with Major League Baseball officials this week to discuss the restrictions, Editor & Publisher reports.
The new restrictions, which take effect later this month when the 2008 season begins, include: a 72-hour limit on posting photos after games; a seven-photo limit on the number of photos posted from a game while it is in progress; a 120-second limit on video length from game-related events; and a ban on live or recorded audio and video from game-related events posted 45 minutes before the start of a game through the end.
