T-Dub has been threatened with a lawsuit for the posting of premium content.It is wrong, and they are right to try to protect their content... from now on it won't be tolerated.

hahahahthey can go to hell and die1st amendment. They have nothing to get you on.
4/5/2006 1:19:25 PM
especially when they're often just reposting other content themselvesthis just means that people are going to post the content without saying that they're getting it from packpride.[Edited on April 5, 2006 at 1:20 PM. Reason : also]
4/5/2006 1:20:09 PM
they threatened a lawsuit? Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
4/5/2006 1:20:20 PM
pack pride cannot sue for anything.

har dee har harthey can sit on a stick and spin
4/5/2006 1:22:13 PM
it's funny because their members talk about going to steal TheWolfpacker.com premie stuff all the time.
4/5/2006 1:23:05 PM
Ommm...you guys are dumb.When someone copies and pastes a full article from a paysite....and says "this is from packpride premium"...they have a damn good case.
4/5/2006 1:23:40 PM
tww should countersue, cause shit from here ends up there all the time.Take that bitches.
4/5/2006 1:24:23 PM
if they ssay its from packpride premium isnt that like citing your sources and thereby legal?
4/5/2006 1:27:25 PM
yea im sure jake is scared...TWW has 10x the userbase as that shithole site
4/5/2006 1:27:45 PM
so if you post stuff just cite the source they got it from and dont mention them
4/5/2006 1:28:28 PM
Hey morons...Taking stuff from a free board and repeating it is not a problem.Yesterday within minutes of an Premium article (written by James Henderson) being posted, someone copied and pasted the entire article here and then it was copied from here to Inside Carolinas message board.
4/5/2006 1:30:49 PM
Soooo would it be possible to post this "threat" I'd love to see what it actually said....
4/5/2006 1:31:13 PM
see, i have a problem when it's pay for shit and all it is is a repeat of what everyone else is saying.
4/5/2006 1:31:48 PM
THEY CHARGE PEOPLE TO READ STUFF THEY STOLE IN THE FIRST PLACEIM SURE WRAL WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT IT
4/5/2006 1:32:03 PM
their webruns are just as stupid. It's only yahoo news based from pack pride.
4/5/2006 1:33:53 PM
^Well not all of the shit is repeat.I guess it really depends on the article on whether or not they can file suit. If you can show that the information was available for free somewhere else, they you might not have to worry. If they can show that only their employees had access to that information and it was exclusive to their premium members...then you're in trouble.
4/5/2006 1:34:33 PM
lucky for us, quotes are not in the realm of pay to see.
4/5/2006 1:35:12 PM
they're gonna supposedly pay an assload of legal bills for some shit ass writer's shit ass columns that aren't originally published in print form in the first place?
4/5/2006 1:36:52 PM
You guys really are dumb.Most people pay to use that site to keep up with recruiting. WRAL and the N&O do nothing about recruiting. And there is inside information that the news channels and newspapers will never know about, or they won't find out about it until a week or two down the road (it's funny that a lot of radio/TV/newspaper guys have paid memberships to these websites...it's for a reason).Some of the information they get you can get from newspapers all over the country...but that's a minority of their articles.
4/5/2006 1:37:09 PM
I'm saying when they try to copyright a quote and claim ownership over it. They cannot do that.
4/5/2006 1:38:24 PM
where on here has any of their "exclusive content" been posted? sounds like penis envy to me ^^dumb as a brick [Edited on April 5, 2006 at 1:42 PM. Reason : v]
4/5/2006 1:40:17 PM
I screwed up yesterday by posting what was on the premium boards.... and yes, there has been quite a bit of uproar about it involving myself....rightfully so. I'd recommend that if any of you didn't want to be in my position, which you don't, that you take this seriously and don't do it.I won't be posting anything else... so don't ask. I very rarely do, but I figured in this circumstance, I would. I didn't realize it was that big of a deal considering it wasn't an "article", just a post on the board. I was wrong. Either way, won't happen again... and trust me, none of you that are members over there want to go through what I have been through involving this mess. Sorry T-Dub and Packpride.
4/5/2006 1:43:16 PM
^^not calling anybody out but packbacker posted a premie Scoop article yesterday in very close proximity to the original article being posted on Statefansthat is what has their panties in a wad I think, especially since it was poached from thewolfweb and taken to IC within 20 minutes of that![Edited on April 5, 2006 at 1:44 PM.

i think i might join just to piss them off by posting their stolen content here
4/5/2006 1:44:33 PM

haha i joined today, but just so i could read this so-called "premie" content. i don't have any intention of getting both sites pissed at me. sorry you're gettin a bunch of shit PackBacker.
4/5/2006 1:47:11 PM
exactly why i want to fuck with thembring the ruckus. my best friend is a lawyer just looking for something like thiseasy publicity
4/5/2006 1:47:51 PM
hahaha, and i'm sure these very posts wouldn't even be considered when the suit was filed.the only stuff i'd consider posting here would be direct quotes, stuff i found for free elsewhere, or the announcement of a new coach if it hasn't made it to here yet (not likely to be the case).
4/5/2006 1:50:01 PM
1) Post Packpride content on a page on your own personal site2) Post link to that page on TWW4) Profit
4/5/2006 1:50:22 PM
I was really considering going premium today but after reading this I will definitely never do it. I always thought it was bullshit the way they portrayed things as exclusive premium content but it really turned out to be public domain (or simply fluff). Then when I see the mods censor, threaten, or even ban people for things that they themselves do in threads it just puts things over the top. Fuck 'em.
4/5/2006 1:51:14 PM
is there a thread in Packpride where this issue has been addressed?If so, please help.I can find it at all.
4/5/2006 1:51:52 PM
fineim gonna make my own sitecharge half the priceand simply copy all the bullshit articles they copy from wral, nando, and doing a google news search.http://www.statesports.com is in business

4/5/2006 2:03:22 PM
Someone please tell me what Packpride steals/repeats/etc and posts as premium. The premium articles are from inside sources and are not poached from other places....the majority of the recruiting info comes from James and Steve researching (calls, networking, etc.) and they post it or tell people in chat.Some of the info may come thru from the scout.com network but the stuff you guys are talking about is on the free boards. The web run is just links to news articles involving NCSU athletics...that is not premium info.Get your facts straight before claiming PP.com is sueing over something that they do too. That is just plain false. I would read PackBacker's post over and over before thinking I was a tough guy and show them who is boss. This may be a open forum for students (mainly) but PP.com premuim is a business and you can't steal from a business.
