Isn't it the AFL or someone that flags it as copyrighted? Either way it's ridiculous. Giantroo is providing a service that those bums don't and it helps promote the game. They should be thanking him.Blocking giant roo content. **** those campaigners
It’s the AFL, regardless, lucky we have GR on Facebook.
Make an account, like GR’s page and don’t add any friends. Your Facebook account is now a bootleg NM site.Lucky for you lot if you have it on facebook.
I've never had a facebook account and don't intend to start now.

Only problem is it's only the Dogs and Lions game that they have blocked worldwide this year. The rest are allowed through. They copyright the goals videos but the other games don't get blocked.It's the AFL/Seven/Fox that is protecting their rights. The AFL has to be seen as active as part of the deal for TV rights in preventing other channels showing content. They didn't get payed a billion for people to get their footy fix via an alternative channel.
Welcome to the TV rights era.

Can someone (in the know - GR, Rick18, others who know Heath) ask Heath and the NMFC media team to either:
a) employ Giantroo to do it officially for NMFC media

I think most of GR's content falls under fair use, but I am no IP lawyer.
Yeah nah, it doesn’t. So the only way GR would have to clear the 3 strikes is to ask the AFL to withdraw its claim. Chances of that happening are remote.
Personally, I wouldn't want to see our better contributors work for the club, as their objectivity would very likely be compromised.
Folks should never EVER forget that the people that once ran this club were in favor of shipping us off to the Gold Coast, and it was the INDEPENDENCE of this board that played a major rallying point for resistance to the plan.
If this place wasn't here, and independent, North may not exist today.
Agree with what you said Snake but it would be nice if the club could pick up all our goals video instead of just the highlights. It’s a great idea and a damn shame if it’s not allowed to continue.

I like the idea of compiling an eBook at the end of the year, if Rick18 SMaturin Roozee are agreeable.It can continue, we just need to look at ways around the situation, as has been already mentioned by a few posters.
I am strongly in favor of the likes of Rick18's tactical analysis, SMaturin cultural input, Giantroo's media etc, ansonholts VFL commentaries etc., maintaining their analytical and artistic independence.
In fact, a dedicated blog should be set up for them to combine the input of the better contributors.
There's more talent on this board than on the club website. It's just that you have to wade through the crap here as well.
