| http://www.mmamania.com/2012/1/23/2726805/lorenzo-fertittas-letter-to-congress-in-support-of-the-dreaded-enemyMiddle Easy has it: This is a critical piece of legislation that directly affects the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC) and many other U.S.-based companies that create American jobs by producing live sporting events. Presently, the UFC, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Football League, and many other American sporting businesses are threatened by the unlawful live streaming of our telecasts.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the world's largest fight promotion suggests that piracy is costing thousands of hard working people their jobs. But is blindly supporting this type of legislation, regardless of its collateral damage, the best solution? More from Fertitta after the jump. The piracy of live sporting events is illegal, it kills jobs, and it threatens the expansion of U.S.-based companies. This is the issue that keeps us up at night, and we are very concerned about the continued theft of our shows.
In 2001, my brother and I along with our friend Dana White, purchased the nearly bankrupt UFC. We saw great potential in the UFC when many thought we were crazy. We took a great risk, but today the UFC is a phenomenal success, creating and impacting thousands of jobs for our athletes, licensees, partners, and affiliates. That success is threatened by the theft and retransmission of our live pay-per-view events and telecasts, which account for a significant portion of our revenues. Our copyright-protected works are critical to our survival, yet there are infringing web sites where one can find almost any type of pirated content, including live UFC events, NFL, NBA, and MLB games, the Olympics, and virtually every TV show and movie. If copyrighted works are allowed to be pirated with impunity, the potential effects on U.S. producers of entertainment programming, including the thousands of jobs that they create, will be disastrous.
