NFL Proves Copyright Law is Broken

So get this. Fall Creek Baptist Church in Indianpolis was going to have a Super Bowl Bash at the church so that the congregation could watch the game together on a projection TV. Sounds like a great community event right? Well the NFL said it would be illegal. The slate article goes into details, apparently the big issue was that they were going to charge admission and they had a big screen. The law has an exception for sports bars. So bars are good but churches are bad. The copyright law is crazy.
