Rolex 24 Live Webcast shut down by SPEEDTV
1.22.09

I just said nice things about Speed...but I take it back.

By what legal theory do they presume to prevent a low budget webcast of a team's pit box from being aired?

At around 8pm tonight the 800 lb gorilla of Nascartaiment made TRG pull the plug on an AUDIO feed from their pit.

TRG will be back on the web at 10pm after Speed goes to bed for the night, and the chat box is active now.

I would think that they don't have a legal basis, but good ol' TRG has to bend over backwords for their own self interest.

Not very cool move on the part of speed...very MURDOCH like.

Big Bad Speed and Fox flexing their muscle. I think I'll call and cancel my Dish service, and when they ask I'll reference this.
