Typical money-conscious organisation.


ICC tells YouTube to pull plug on clips
March 26 2007 at 11:56PM London - The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday told online video-sharing group YouTube (http://www.youtube/) to remove World Cup clips claiming copyright infringement, it was reported here.

ICC Development, the body's commercial arm, and commercial rights holder the Global Cricket Corporation, have gone after YouTube to protect the rights of broadcast and sponsorship partners.

"We are here to protect the commercial broadcast rights for the ICC and GCC and there is an issue here," Christopher Stokes, the chief executive of online rights protection agency NetResult, which represents the ICC, told The Guardian newspaper.

"In general there is a dilemma for rights holders in that they want people to enjoy the event but also have stringent contracts with TV broadcasters and with mobile rights holders.

"In today's world, broadcasters buy highlights as well as live coverage and mobile rights means clips. There is an obligation to protect them."

Coming from a Sport Management background I can understand it. The biggest stage in ODI cricket is a place to take advantage of the revenue that will flow, but from a sport fan perspective it is disappointing because you could expose the sport to so many more people by allowing YouTube to show it.
