Roy Jones Jr. Goes for TKO vs. Piracy
A boxing-promotion company owned by Roy Jones Jr., Square Ring Promotions, is looking to score a technical knockout against live-video-streaming service Ustream, alleging in a copyright-infringement lawsuit that Ustream is guilty of “massive and blatant copyright infringement” for permitting 2,377 users to view a broadcast of the March 21 fight between Jones and Omar Sheika without paying, TechCrunch reported.
The suit also claimed that Ustream ignored repeated requests by Square Ring to gather more information and detailed Square Ring’s attempts to protect the event from piracy.
