So it's proprietary rights you want? Really? You want to go that route?
You (MDC/NFFC) wish to monopolise the draft results, and be the only legal party that can sell us out? Do you plan to include new legal writings in the MDC and NFFC acceptance terms?
If you are really trying to eliminate what Lou does from being legal...this is not the route.
If you are condoning it and attempting to profit on what you've already profited on (NFFC Sat Drafts)...nice.

(Especially after ripping Lou for doing it in the first place.)
At $19 bucks...I'd guess it doesn't sell much. But hey...everything was programmed already with MDC...so even a few sales makes profit.
By making a mountain out of a mole hill...you not only look like flip flopper's, but greedy and monopolistic. Again...my hopes are that you wish to stamp out this practice...but I see the fight fantasy sports has with MLB and NFL stats as too close to this proprietary rights battle.
I'll also agree with Leroy that this NFFC Sat Cheatsheet (if many were to use it) would create draft with LESS skill and MORE luck.
Myself and I'd guess many others would no longer participate in these satellites in order to keep our picks secretive. So you win $19 and lose $1000.
This will get ugly.

CDM fight was about stats we can find in a newspaper any morning and are public domain.
Greg has every right to take HIS info and do whatever he wants with it in any way, shape or form.

I pay to play...the draft info is mine.
I can do with it what I please.
Is that not correct?
