free the fixtures
On Thursday 14th June the fixtures for the 2007/08 football season were published. However most fan run websites will not be displaying them....
Football DataCo Ltd is a British company that grants licenses to third parties allowing them to reproduce certain intellectual property such as fixture lists and statistics. Football DataCo is wholly owned by FA Premier League and The Football League.
Fans have 3 options.....
1) Become the clubs nominated fanzine and get a licence for the fixtures for £1 + VAT and a delivery charge to your site £104 + VAT, delivery via email!
A total of £123
2) Get authorisation from the club to use their fixtures in isolation. This would be £266+VAT plus delivery charge
A total of £435
3) Without authorisation from the club you must buy fixtures for all clubs - this is £4244+VAT for the licence and £5200+VAT for delivery
A total of nearly £12,000
Boo ! Hiss ! Nasty DataCo !

oops ! Anyway - the reason I posted it was because the local paper has a sports website, and until now they have been doing a live text update service from the ground. They've now been told that what they are doing is a breach of copyright - how can you copyright an event you are watching ?

I reckon that there will be people running illegal google waves "discussing" live matches, let's see the FA take on Google !
