Youtube is easy. Downloading files to my computer sucks

Not only do you have to download, but I'm assuming that you have to leave your torrent program running to achieve certain upload ratios to remain in good standing with the tracker.

Does anyone really use this anymore?

All the games are on YouTube.

I do but I've wondered the same thing. I guess impatience is the only reason to use TYT. Games are up quicker than on Youtube. But my real question is why the NCAA and the conferences don't issue DMCA takedown notices. TV shows, movies, other sports--you can't put up full-game videos. But for some reason, the NCAA doesn't care about game video trafficking. Even in cases where souvenir DVDs are sold.

You'd have to have access to the tracker and know what file it is you are asking to be taken down would be my guess.

I think it has something to do with who actually owns the content. From what I understand of it, the conferences own the broadcast rights, but it really stops at that. I don't monetize my content. I think if I did, my uploads would be immediately flagged to be taken down. There are a few entities that monetize my uploads; The ACC (I would guess that Georgia is the SEC...) and two entities that I guess distribute game footage to teams for play by play analysis. The only flags that I've been hit by are when there's a copywritten song running in the background or the couple times I have done a radio overlay. The radio overlays are really tricky from a copywrite standpoint (I'm guessing) as IMG owns the radio rights, the ACC owns the video rights, and combining them makes it confusing as to who takes precedence.

As far as souvenir DVDs go... I have no idea. Folks aren't supposed to be profiting or distributing, and I've heard of share groups being "taken down", but I am guessing as digital information becomes so much easier to transmit and share these networks will be less and less enforced. Law of diminishing returns. I am guessing most of the broadcasters don't care as their product is getting new life after they have squeezed all the ad revenue they can out of it, the owners can monetize someone elses work, and the only bandwidth being eaten is Google... Not ESPN, the ACC/SEC, etc... That said, I've spoken with folks at Tech and they are surprised that I haven't been taken down yet.

EDIT:
The professional leagues are Nazis with their content. I've had a couple games I had to take down and reprocess because there was an advertisement for an NFL or NBA game that I missed in my first pass de-commercial. Those cats throw the book hard when you try to republish their stuff.

Thanks for the info, Gezpacho. I've never actually heard from someone who does the caps. You guys do a great job, particularly taking out commercials, etc. Amazes me there are versions, for both NFL and college, where people somehow don't follow live and try not to see scores until they watch the videos--some of the cappers actually take out the chyrons with scores at the bottom! Maybe that's folks overseas or something.

Thats impressive... That's a bit more effort than I put in to it. I figure if you're watching, it's more for personal benefit and you can ignore the bottom lines
