The GFY lawyer in me is on vacation..

But would the time line of when Xpays became the license holder come into effect here? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the video released to the net by "whom ever" then xpays worked the deal out for the rights to it?

If so how could they obtain the rights to the video if it was already publicly released? Once it's released I'd think it become news worthy to an extent.

I'm not against people being able to protect their content, but I just wonder if they can actually enforce this.

It would be like someone trying to buy the rights to the Star Wars kid video after it was released to the net then going after all the sites whom had posted it. At least that's the way I look at it.
