Re: FIRST Overdrive Animation
The only reason that I would see that FIRST would wish to enforce their copyrights (they could license it) is to prevent improper or misleading usage (i.e. clips being shown out of context, use of the animation on a non-FIRST appropriate site). What I fail to see is any reason why FIRST would have anything against rebroadcasting the game in a controlled, appropriate fashion (as in, by FIRST themselves on video networking sites). The primary objective I see for this is not for access by FIRSTers (we all know usfirst.org is there), but rather access to the video by the world community as a whole (and subcommunities such as youtube).
Is this really so important? No.
Can FIRST do whatever they want with this video? Of course.
My $0.02.
