Discuss - football league owns copyright to the broadcast


Problem: The National Football League owns the copyright to the broadcasts of it games. It licenses local television stations to telecast certain games and maintains a "blackout rule" which prohibits stations from broadcasting home games that are not sold out 72 hours before the game starts. Certain home games of the Cleveland Browns team were not sold out, and the NFL blocked local broadcasts. But several bars in the Cleveland area were able to pick up the game's signal by using special antennas. The NFL wanted the bars to stop showing the games. What did or could it do morally and legally?
