IOC Orders Blogger To Take Down Video

Posted by kdawson on from the cone-of-ownership-descends dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The International Olympic Committee has ordered a blogger to remove a video from his website showing the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. The IOC asserts that it owns all the rights to all images taken at the games, and only licensed broadcasters can use them. However, the blogger, Stephen Pate, points to a Canadian law that allows copyrighted images to be used in newsworthy cases."

    And then (according to some religious beliefs), you'd wake-up in hell. Boy church is a depressing place.
