Images: And the lockout begins…

From Kevin Arnovitz’s piece on TrueHoop earlier this week:

But for the guys who are in charge of those team websites and NBA.com, the pending deadline is a huge deal.

That’s because the moment the clock strikes midnight on the current CBA, all those images and videos of NBA players have to disappear off NBA-owned digital properties. Depending on how you interpret “fair use,” the prohibition could include the mere mention of a player’s name on an NBA-owned site, though different teams have different interpretations of this particular stipulation.
