Interesting legal question about copyright happening right now, as you probably know by
now there was an incident in the last lap of todays Nationwide Daytona race where several
cars crashed and parts went over and through the fence.

Whats interesting is that a fan posted a video he took from his seat in the stands of 2
minutes after the accident.

 

YouTube pulled the video on behalf of Nascar as they are claiming copyright

Makes for interesting argument 

-       Is Nascar within its rights as it IS private property.

-       Is the fan within his rights as he posted less than 1% of the event (eg he shot
the accident scene 5 seats over where a tire landed on someone)

Either way what has happened...and this is so true about the internet once something is
uploaded it can never be deleted...the video is now being displayed on 20 different
websites some which have refused to remove it in addition to it being uploaded to youtube
under many different accounts with no mention of Nascar so cannot be located through
simple keyword search.

 

Any legal eagles on the list want to have a crack with your thoughts? 

 

.and in case you are wondering..yes of course we had a live fan chat for todays race -
