Last month the NFL released its new crazily restrictive policies on other news organizations’ use of online video on their websites, in an attempt to keep its own website(s) humming (or so the thinking from its side goes). Now we have some more details on it: The new policy covers everything shot by news organizations within team facilities. In addition to the 45-second-per-day limit, news organizations must also provide a link to NFL.com and a team’s Web site for any team-related footage shown on those Web sites. The league also prohibits news outlets from selling advertising tied to video gathered at a team’s facilities.
