The question becomes is a website such as SBR liable for damages if a poster posts a copyrighted pick on a forum?

The case was dismissed in March but the Plaintiff requested and received reconsideration. Most know Stevo as Steve Budin, Brandon Lang and a host of other real and not so real handicappers.

This is a 20 page read and not suitable for young children, teens, folks in their 20's through 70's or the elderly. But it has become a well followed case among scholars and freedom of speech followers.(and other copyright & patent trolls)

What is Danieles posting handle? Seems like a lot of this surrounds him/her posting the touts write ups on the message board.

[ex50warrior]

Interesting read; too bad SBR will have to use more resources to defend themselves.

[wantitall4moi]

LOL really?

If the guy paid for it he can do what he wants to with it.

If he found it for free then it is obviously available somewhere.

I also doubt highly that anything nay tout posts is 'copy written'. Especially in a purely legal sense.

More stupidity to stir traffic here?

SBR still had to pay legal fees for this because of Lang what a joke he is guy just proved he can't pick a winner to save his life

I'd love to be in the jury box for a case like this IF all legalise jargon was replaced with SBR nomenclature and you'd get nuggets like this

"Objection your honor, the defense has never fuking heard of the plaintiff"

"Your honor the defense would like to move to dismiss the case on the grounds that Stevo is an attention whore, broke dik loser, lives in his mother's basement and is known as an auto-fade"

"If it pleases the court, I'd like to approach the bench.....'your honor saloon this shit!"

"The Prosecution would like to submit the following into evidence as exhibit B to support the theory that counsel is ghosting and was previously known by the name Ipickwinnersallday"

"Ladies and Gentleman of the Jury, if this line of questioning doesn't lead somewhere and help the prosecution win, I won't post until 2014"

"repeat after me, I swear to pay back my betpoints loan 6 points a day, the whole 6 points a day and nothing less than half my winnings on my big lock wager this weekend so help me Yisman"

"objection your honor, prosecution is clearly badgering and trolling the witness, and this being a subforum proceeding and a weeknight with Shari91 on duty, the defense requests an infraction and 24 hr cool down"

[rkelly110]

Unless the tout has a copy write clause with each of his picks, I would say he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Some touts will give you a PDF on how to pick teams. If they do that, it's public knowledge. If the PDF is
copy written, all you have to do is write the PDF in your own words.

I don't know his posting name. We have never had any communication with him either before, during the lawsuit or after. Stevo was lying in his allegation that he was an agent of SBR. It was a fishing expedition by Stevo. At this stage, the motion to dismiss stage, Stevo can apparently say anything he wants.

[rookie363]

Chi_Archie,

That was an awesome post

[nosniboR11]

I see both sides of this argument

[Mitchell88]

i read the whole thing and for anyone to have a lawsuit this is the last guy to do it, he is trying to get $$ anyway he can like he has with his horrible picks. What a f%$^in loser

example, one SBR user identified as “Pin Fish” posted handicapping reports under the subject line
“redd, jordan, davis, nover, o’brien, mancini???” (FAC #7 at ¶ 80.) The subject line identifies
Plaintiffs’ analysts Redd, Jordan, Davis, Nover, O’Brien, and Mancini, and the body of the posting
contained these analysts’ reports. T

I think a judge would laugh a suit out of court where an actual pick of say indiana +5 is alleged to be copyrightable when there are only two choices for the side either +5 or -5 and there are thousands of people wagering on the event. There is nothing unique here.
The writeup on the other hand may have more protection pending its substance. Wunderdog mentions even verbally sharing the information is a copyright violation yet in a bit of irony many of their writeups use a trend stat verbatim from covers matchup page. Perhaps there is an information sharing agreement in place but unlikely since there is no credit given to covers in WD writeups

i understand their feeling for the potential loss of revenue when their name is assigned to the pick but it is unenforceable in my opinion because one cannot assume any of the people viewing these threads would have made the investment in the first place.

[tto827]

Goldengreek was mentioned also. Made it thru about 18 pages before I just skipped to the conclusion.

From a outsiders point of view, this seems like a very interesting case against Daniele (SBR cannot monitor everything on its site and I find it hard to see them being held accountable for what others post). It seems all the case law is 100% in SBR's favor and Lang has no leg to stand on whatsoever in a court of law.

So massive waste of time and money there, what a surprise in the US court system.....

But does anyone know about proceedings against Daniele? Or was Lang's only course of action to end the subscription to Lang's picks for Daniele?

[UZI Suicide]

SBR should countersue Al DeMarco's toupee, make it take the stand and admit that the majority of the cappers on their site are fake (just like his hair) personas created by Stevo Design in order to dupe the public. And how can a fake, totally made up handicapper have copyrighted material?

"Objection your honor, the defense has never fuking heard of the plaintiff"

[str]

Unbelievable John,

What has this world come too.

[mickjam42]

If there's no writeup accompanying the post, what is the legal leg to stand on? It's akin to me mentioning a book, the author, and giving away the ending on a blog. Totally ridiculous.

If these cappers would lower their prices to something akin to reasonable and be transparent about their records, more people would buy them. The itunes model applied to handicapping.

The court has the power to hear Plaintiffs’ case, but not the power to grant Plaintiffs relief.
Thus, Plaintiffs’ claims remain dismissed."

Waste of time and money. But I think the era of copyright, trademark and patent trolls shaking down social sites and similar sites has run its course. Stevo attorney one Steve Gibson sued nearly 300 websites and raked in a bunch of settlements before a defendant finally took a stand and went to trial. He never won a single case after that. In fact he has declared bankruptcy but luckily for him he was able to leach onto Budin. I can't even imagine how much cash he duked him out of just to see his case get destroyed twice at the motion to dismiss stage.
