Warren is in the first round.

Would post where, but this board LOVES their rules, and I don't know if posting ESPN Insider information will make the mods mad.
 
LOL.

I don't think throwing out the Round, Pick and Team would be THAT frowned upon. Think that you can sum up stuff, just not cut and paste. But what do I know?

Bottom of the draft, team is known for having two players (one now and one previously) who are known as "Superman"...I think that is enough.

Orton is in the lottery FWIW...too much info?
 
152219 you seem to almost be criticizing this board for not wanting premium content copied and pasted here. Do you realize they could be held personally liable if that content were to appear here and they did nothing to remove it?

It's not about rules. We simply try to do what's right and not permit the full text of premium, usually copyrighted material, to be posted to the board. If it's not premium, by all means post it. Otherwise, it's best to do what you have already done and keep it limited to a tidbit of information that does not infringe on that site's rights to the material.

Interesting that Ford has WW in the first round now. Wasn't he projected very late in the first round or even in the second round not long ago?

That is fine, but if you don't think premium info has made its way on this board, you are quite naive.

I've said enough it appears, so I cannot answer your question.
 
Did I say that it NEVER has? No. Do I support the removal of said content 100%? Yes I do.

Of course you can. The problem is posting "the full content of the text" to the board, not in discussing it.

What Mr.B!!! said is correct, at least that's my understanding of the copyright law. You can also post a link to the article. Chad Ford would be a fool to object to what amounted to a teaser with a link to his article. That's just a common sense approach to good business and free advertising on a board that attracts a number of users who are passionate basketball fans.
 
Yeah laugh all you want because it's not your website. You can come on here and post whatever you want and not have to worry about any of the repercussions. It's all good, right? I know for a fact that OUHoops has received contact from OU because full articles from SoonerSports.com (not even pay content) was copied and pasted in its entirety here with no link. I don't believe that "contact" was very pleasant. But they're just being silly by not wanting that content posted here. Right.

I will laugh because this thread hasn't been deleted as I already gave away too much Insider information.

It's my understanding that you can summarize "premium" info in your own words. It's the direct copying and pasting that presents a problem for us (legally) if we allow it to happen. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that first part.

As far as you stating where Ford had Willie going and to who in the first round, I don't see a problem at all with posting that. It's the copying and pasting of the content from the OU premium sites and local newspapers that will give us issues.

Because those are the only ones that are going to look. Been posting on other boards for years, and not once have them been asked by ESPN to take off copy and pasted material (and I always add the link and cite the author).

Now, since this site has "OU" on it, I can see the OU premium sites getting mad and I understand why you protect yourself there.
 
Ford's top 100 has been updated too.

Gallon is in the 60s and TMG isn't in there.

Some new positive remarks about Gallon...so I guess there is a chance he may be drafted. TMG appears to probably not have a chance.
 
sweet!!! willie warren to the orlando magic... per chad ford's mock draft via 152219!!!

We just told you why it hasn't been deleted and how far you can go with the content of the article. Do what you think is best. I have a feeling the majority of posters who aren't ESPN premium members can live without knowing where Ford has Willie ranked in the first round and which team is projected to draft him. There is about a 1% chance either one of those projections will be right anyway. lol

I think you are missing the point of me busting your chops a bit about the PM I received from you a few days ago.
