Stripe Hype Under Seige

... have been threatened with a law suit by their very own Bengals.  In one of the strangest moves by a team I’ve seen, the Bengals are saying that a web site devoted to promoting their team in a loving fashion is violating copyright by among other things trying to give away a jersey to fans and by using pictures that the Bengals don’t own copyright to themselves. Details here . Now, let me put this out there.  As many of you know, I work for a business magazine as my day job.  I am incredibly aware of the importance of copyright to any organization.  I am, in fact, responsible ...

Bengals blogger in trouble... plus Elisha Cuthbert!

However, we’ve been asking for access for months as a media outlet to be able to interview players, take our own photos, etc." ...

... In what is easily the most ridiculous bit of news I’ve heard in a long time, the Cincinnati Bengals blog (StripeHype) for our friends Zach and Adam’s Fan-Sided Blog Network has been threatened with a lawsuit by the team and the NFL itself for copyright violation and trademark infringement. Evidently, it is the team’s and the league’s contention that the images used in the design of the site and in posts violates federal copyright law. ...

... so, a woman passed out All-Star game ballots, which she would pick up in a few innings. I grabbed mine and immediately started smelling the newly printed paper and ink, which I don't feel like I'm alone in doing. I glance up at the monster high def screen they have at Kauffman Stadium only to see myself with my face buried in my All-Star ballot. I did the customary, "Where is the camera?!?!" head swivel before everyone else laughed. Stripe Hype, a Cincinnati Bengals blog, is being threatened with a lawsuit by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Just Another Reason The Steelers Have A Leg Up On the Bengals
Published 8 days ago by Blitzburgh at Behind the Steel Curtain
... Not only do the Steelers dust the Cincinnati Bengals on the field of competition, they also lap them in terms of treating their fans well. StripeHype, a Bengals fan site, has been sued by Mr. Paul Brown, the Bengals owner, for copy-right infringment. Brown's claim is the site uses the team's logo and photos without permission. Now, I can't say I read this site, so I have no clue the extent to which they may or may not use the team's copy-righted materials, but my primary hunch is that this is something that didn't need such drastic aciton. When I (accdidentally and incorrectly) ...

ARE THE BENGALS BULLIES OR GOOD BUSINESSMEN?
Published 7 days ago by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
Several readers have asked for our thoughts regarding the news that the Cincinnati Bengals threatened to sue a fan-run blog for copyright infringement . If we’re being honest (and we always are, except when we’re not), the phrase “better them than us” was the first thought that came to mind. Then again, what happened in this case wasn’t arbitrary.  StripeHype.com got sufficiently close to the line to trigger a cease-and-desist letter, apparently by using images and logos that infringed on the team’s copyrights.  And though we’ll defer to the experts in copyright law who’ll ...

DON’T LINK TO PICTURES OF MOSTLY NAKED PEOPLE WITHOUT SOME KIND OF WARNING! Forget whether or not you’re at work, some of us don’t want to look at that anyway. (By the way, if you are a blog that wonders why I don’t ever link to you, this could be a clue…) DON’T BLOG ABOUT THE BENGALS. Apparently they don’t like it . DON’T MAKE LISTS. Nobody likes lists, and especially… DON’T STRETCH OUT ...
