Hmmmmm.

What if it is your own camera footage?

They can't claim ownership of the pictures you take I wouldn't think.

That's probably right. As long as they allow cameras in the stadiums they can't tell you not to put it up.

But the problem might be that most of the clips you see from sports events is taken from TV.

I think it's dificult for a person standing in one spot to capture the best plays of any game with one camera.

Youtube sent me an email and they took my Nap video off youtube!
I am sure the others will be yanked soon.

Here is the email:

Damn! Google ruined Youtube!

I was surprised google spent all that money acquiring youtube in the first place as the potential for being sued for copyright theft is enormous. If all the sports footage gets removed, which I think will be a never ending task, I for one will certainly miss it.

The NFL will be gearing up for web broadcasts soon, similar to what mlb.com offers.
That will be nice.
I'll miss the sports clips on youtube though.
I'm sure they'll show up somewhere else.

Hopefully they will be right here!
