IOC Orders Blogger To Take Down Video

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."

    He's a Canadian citizen reporting on a Canadian sporting event, his domain is registered to a Charlottetown, CA address via a Canadian name register. So far he's got a good case to give the big FU to the IOC (which I wholly support).

    You support the IOC, or giving the IOC a big FU?
