I seem to remember some whoha about us not being able to post them up in their entirety last season because that ghost town mad got them? I'd say this is by far the busiest AFC forum again, no? I believe the European Courts rejected Dataco's copyright's claim. Shouldn't matter about permission now. [edit] (Reuters) - A European Court has backed online company Yahoo! Inc's contention that it should not pay the compilers for publishing English and Scottish soccer fixtures lists. Football DataCo, a company that protects and markets images and data for the English and Scottish Premier Leagues, had accused Yahoo! UK, bookmaker Stan James and sports information company Enetpulse of infringing its rights by using match lists without authorisation. The fees for publishing the fixtures online and in newspapers are distributed among professional clubs in England and Scotland. In a judgment on Thursday, the European Union's Court of Justice in Luxembourg said copyright protection did not extend to fixture lists when there was little creative freedom in how they are compiled.

Couldn't believe those fuckers could actually deny the free distribution of fixture lists. What the fuck was up with that?

This means we can publish the SPL fixtures without breaching copyright, which other unofficial Dons websites will be doing if they reproduce the fixtures." Link to comment

Well, if the Admin and Mods would just do as he demands there would be no issue, surely. So The Hat can post fixtures, regardless of AFC's preferences, by the looks of it. Shame that... because cache only comes from exclusivity Link to comment

This will make it three years in a row we've been chosen - the hat-trick - so it's 'as you were' really. We didn't even apply for it. Link to comment
