"In a 2-1 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that EA had used the images in its video games of several ex-NCAA athletes without their permission in its NCAA football and basketball series. The decision comes two weeks after EA lost the rights to put the NCAA logo and name on its games beyond this year.

Circuit Judge Jay Bybee, writing for the majority of the court, said EA's game "literally recreates [Arizona State University quarterback Samuel] Keller in the very setting in which he has achieved renown.""

First off, who is Samuel Keller?  Second, this is total bullshit.  And third...unless I was the lawyer on the winning side.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."
