Fantasy sports site does end run around law to provide Super Bowl action
Turns out there's more than one way to skin a cat, or in this case, a super cat.
Fantasy sports site ScoreStreak.com has found a way to offer fantasy action on the Super Bowl, despite a law stating that fantasy play must be based on the results of multiple games.
In an ingenius move, the folks at ScoreStreak have created something called the "Big Game Mash-up," a fantasy contest that will combine the action from the Super Bowl this coming Sunday with the action from a pro basketball game played the same day.
Gambling911.com earlier this week spoke with ScoreStreak chief executive officer Ross Borden about the company's revolutionary creation.
"ScoreStreak’s unique format enables us to combine leagues, in this case the National Football League and the National Basketball Association, into a single contest," Borden said.
Most fantasy sites, however, are taking a pass on the Super Bowl.

Please refrain from copy and pasting the entire article, and please provide the entire source link.
A copy and paste of the entire article does not follow fair use guidelines.

IT put it even simpler so Panther Casino Affiliates can understand ...
By copying and pasting an entire article that someone else has written you are effectively stealing their work.
DON'T DO IT.

He has given credit. If anything, he's actively promoting the source in every such thread.
By forcing him to link to the original article you're actually helping his agenda.

I am sorry but copying and pasting the ENTIRE article is against fair use guidelines.
We could start a thread to discuss fair use copying if you'd like as it could be a healthy discussion. (I happen to know of main cases where some people were sued, even when they followed the guidelines)
Please allow this particular thread to get back to the theme of the OP and that is about fantasy sports and how it affects the superbowl.

I think in this situation, you can copy an article only after receiving copyright permission of article ...
