Sinclair’s Legal Loss on Social Media Embeds

Post by sinklair » Tue Aug 17, 2021 7:39 pm

You just don’t EVER want to side with Sinclair when it comes to a lawsuit. We seriously have some of the worst lawyers in the broadcasting industry. The latest example… a federal judge says media companies can’t “embed” social media posts in their website without potentially violating copyright laws.
