Sorry as this is not the place for it, but what legal action can they take??
I have heard the same shit for too many years to count, and if any legal action was successful, someone please document it.
They can sue for copyright infringements for posting the writeups, but as far as simply giving out the names of the teams they
are picking, I doubt it unless something has changed.
Perhaps there is an attorney in the audience who can comment on this!!
They must be losing lots of money. I can see how posting writeups is illegal and would violate copyright laws but how would posting a pick be illegal...it's just their opinion. Saying so and so recommends Iowa State +7 is now illegal? Rx should not be scared.... no court of law would say that is illegal.
If one of these guys sued me, I would file a counterclaim to recoup all my losses from relying on such poor picks. They ought to disclose/disclaim any sold picks with the "this is for entertainment only" tagline. Docs and their guys, for example. The guarantee of "if our picks are losers, we'll give you more for free" is laughable. Where's the FTC when you need them.
I think the only legit legal claim would be from the services that suck so badly that they are faded.
Not sure where World's Worst Picker fits into the equation.
GLTA.
PS: the foregoing is an attempt at humor and parody. Please don't sue me (and moderators, I won't post something like this again. Just a little comic relief on a boring sports night.
One last comment from me.
If Big Al is an attorney, the question is whether he has sued a gambling site before and if so was he successful??
Just as importantly, in view of the fact that his picks have been plastered all over the internet for many years and he hasn't
sued until right now, the question is why not and what makes anyone think that if he tries it out of clear blue sky, it
will work.
I am not sure this is the right terminology as I am not an attorney, but isn't it possible that there is some kind of statue
of limitations in an instance like this??
Doesn't ALLOW? When did they given you permission to repost their picks? They never have, and never will. Picks are opinions, there's nothing they can do legally besides retract your subscription without refund.
