NCAA Schools Ask SportShooters To "Cease And Desist"

January 25, 2006
By Daryl Lang

For the second time in three months, NCAA colleges and universities are at odds with SportsShooter.com.

Representatives from several NCAA schools have e-mailed photographers in recent days and asked them to remove images of student athletes from SportsShooter, a web site where photojournalists post their portfolios and discuss photography.

Hey Bill, went to Sportshooter , it looked more like foodshooter... anyway I couldn't find a thread there . Help? Maybe a title or author for the article.

I have a friend who does a lot of college BBall photo stuff. They will be interested.

cheers, Jan

Jan,

I just read the news story about sportsshooter.com, I'm not a member. And it would appear that the discussion is happening in the members-only area (hmm, sounds like a discussion we just had here). They charge $25 per year for membership:

Anyway, I was more interested in the story about the C&D than in the posts on SS that engendered the problem.

I could be wrong, but I searched for the word 'desist' in the public areas and didn't find anything.

Best Regards,

Bill Mattocks
