I think it’s an industry issue- no way should eminem et al be suing folk. It’s for record companies to sort out. Anyway, if this deal brings another smaller organisation on side as a feeder for ufc then I’m happy. I just don’t like fragmentation- where fights can’t happen because of contracts.

[quote comment=”21317″]I can understand the move, but as a fan I hope they leave youtube and the like alone. I pay for there ppv, buy merchendise, but I like to catch up on fights without having to buy every ufc dvd. I used to love Eminem, but when him and Dre started filing lawsuits on people and napster, I stoped listening to them cause there greedy, and bad mouth them to this day(greedy assholes) I for one say if they try shit like that, then the fans should ban them, dont but there ppvs, and just wait till they get up on the net so they dont get money. Who here wouldnt be pissed if they couldnt catch up on fights for free? I think we as fans should send a strong message to these corporate guys to be fan friendly, dont get too greedy cause it wont pay off in the long run![/quote]
So in your opinion, people should just do stuff 4 free?!!!What the HELL kind of world do u think we live in? I wish ignorant people like u would go out in public and say the stupid things u do instead of hide behind your computer so I could knock u out!!!! This is 2 bad,I was starting 2 become a fan of your blogs until u had 2 go and say something so dumb!!!I think u r the greedy asshole wanting everything 4 free instead of working hard 4 your own shit!!!HOLLALULIA HOLLA BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elite XC is retarded anyway. I have seen better promotions and filming at amature cage matches.

THIS IS LEGIT.

Intellectual property law is serious in the U.S. - I watched the Elite XC show and assumed they got permission to use the brief footage they used - I also assumed part of the deal was that Elite would play up the UFC - but there was no deal, and Elite was kissing up to UFC, knowing that they went to far and used intellectual property that was not Elite’s.

The lawsuit will cost Elite some time and resources, and can tarnish them. It’s unlikely that the lawsuit will kill them, but if and when they are week, it makes them weaker.

…Interesting…

They should file a lawsuit if their footage is being used without authorization. F elitexc..
