Subject: Appeal denied for CDM vs. MLB case


  Posted by: Guru - [330592710] Mon, Jun 02, 2008, 12:50

The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will not hear an appeal from Major League Baseball Advanced Media and the MLB Players' Association to overturn lower court rulings that allowed CDM Fantasy Sports to use players' names and statistics without a licensing fee.

Good news.

Props to CDM for having the cajones to take on MLB on behalf of the entire fantasy industry! Congrats to them!

This is great news. I miss some of the more creative games that used to be popular.
