Sports Photos: Developing

Courtesy of Online News Squared, some good news, finally, on (some) progress against the idiotic efforts by sports leagues—especially baseball—to restrict use of photos taken at games:

"Moderate" success in the negotiations between media companies and Major League Baseball over heavy-handed content rights restrictions it wanted to impose via credentials this season. MLB backing down on trying to limit online photo galleries and use of content on sibling web sites, makes things a little bearable.

More details here, from the AP Sports Editors. Good work by the editors who stood up to fight this insanity.
