Companies that operate fantasy sports leagues have a First Amendment right to use players' names and statistics for free, a court ruled in a case filed against Major League Baseball. The federal appeals court in St. Louis ruled today in favor of C.B.C. Distribution and Marketing Inc., a closely held operator of fantasy sports leagues. The ruling is a victory for the fantasy sports business, which started with statistics-rich baseball in 1980 and spread to include other sports. Today it is a $1.5 billion industry, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association
