MLB Increases Its Chokehold: Starts Its Own Online Usage Restrictions…

– Sites can’t post more than seven photos from any game online.

– Audio/video content created at MLB ballparks cannot stay up on a news site for more than 72 hours.

– All applicants for a press credential must provide advance written notice of intent to transmit any non-text material.

I read this last week and still don’t get why the leagues, including the NFL, are allowed to dictate how news content is presented. Hopefully the media organizations will fight this and make the MLB come to its senses. [via Buzz Out Loud]
