On topic, I doubt that Jed and the ARC would be able to commentate the Olympics with full legality.

After numerous takedowns we were able to upload this long after the actual games.

Radio Sport isn't immune either – I've sick and tired of listening to the guy who does Aucklands home games whining about how boring the game is and never missing a chance to to complain…

A welcome import, certainly better than the Lovecraftian stuff I was trying to think up earlier...

Which I wish I'd come up with myself, but is being 'borrowed' from another forum I used to frequent.

Copyright is a funny thing. You make something, you own it.

Hmm, maybe a big legal assumption there. But yeah, it's a funny thing one way or another.

Roy & HG used to do awesome alternative radio commentaries for State of Origin and Grand Final games.

And for Formula One. I had some great nights in Melbourne watching that with my flatmate and listening to them on the Radio. I'd never been able to watch F1 before on account…

SKY did a good job of running round YouTube last Sunday tearing down all the Tua-Cameron clips.

That was a mainly the fight promoters, but yeah not surprising.

But as Naly says, that’s just them protecting their product.

No way?! I had no idea such miraculous technology existed – alt commentary in sync on that would be the best.

Yeah, when you watch League commentary on MY SKY you can choose between Gould and the Aussie commentators or McIvor and the Kiwi guys a lot of the time.…

There is also the options to have multiple audio tracks on the one channel (so some shows have a track for Maori occasionally) so the alt commentary could've been on that.

Take Star Wars for example. George Lucas is known for being a hard-ass when it comes to copyright infringement, but if you aren't making money off of it and are just dressing up as Tauntauns in your backyard, he encourages it.
