Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the too-many-weekend-lawyers dept.

garg0yle writes "According to some folks, watching the Super Bowl on a television bigger than 55 inches is illegal. Is this true? Yes and no — long story short, if you're in a private residence you're probably okay, but if you're running a sports bar you may technically have to negotiate a license with the NFL. Just don't charge for food, or call it a 'Super Bowl' party, since the term itself is copyright."

    Appease republicans? Are you kidding me?

    Republicans were completely shut out of the health care debate, special deals, etc.

    Only *now* that the Democrats lost their filibuster proof majority does Obama play "bi-partisan".

    History will show that Obama is and was the most partisan of Presidents in recent American history.

    On top of that, he is a habitual bald-faced liar, but that's a just a bonus . :/
