Good luck to him. The other side of the coin (so to speak) is the case of Stan Laurel, who discovered he didn't have any rights to the image of his own face. Mind you, it's getting hard to tell the difference between AFL and Hollywood...He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team.

Interesting how everyone else except the AFL has to play by their rules.

As a close reading of the article makes clear, this is not:- a test case
- a case arguing that Leo is entitled to special protections not afforded to anyone else, or
- a case that sportspeople 'own' the rights to photographs taken of them in action.
There is a collective bargaining agreement. It is a contract between all players and the AFL. It requires certain permissions to be obtained and money to be paid when an AFL player's image is used for certain commercial purposes. It is alleged (and seems to be the case) that in the case of this image as it was used for an advertising purpose, that wasn't done. Nothing at all to do with whether newspapers, magazines, and kids sticking posters up on their wall, need to pay a tithe to the footy players depicted in those photos. They don't.
The fact that betting is (in some people's minds) closely associated with footy, is neither here nor there. Tabcorp produced an advertisement with the intention of increasing their revenue and profit, like any other business. The issue would be the same if the ad was for crumpets, springboards, or the WA Tourist Commission. ('Leaping Leo says, Jump over to Perth!')
Is Leo putting himself before the team by taking this action? In the mind of a dodgy employer, he sure is. Anyone who doesn't let themselves get walked over by an employer who doesn't keep their end of the bargain, and actually demands their rights, will get accused of not being a 'team player'.Comment

They're actually making the new "no-hands-in-the-back-pocket" rule retrospective. Clearly there is evidence that this has been severely breached.

Ray McLean; 'Any Given Team'; 2006; page 204
One of Paul's first addresses to the players after he became head coach was to acknowledge them as individuals: 'You know that old football adage about how when you come to a club we will treat everyone equally?' he said, 'Well, that won't be the case here because you are all different'.
On other occasions he's been quoted in the press as having said that 'football now is about coaching individuals in a team environment', though I'm not sure it's widely recognised just how different that approach is to the NO-'I'-IN-'TEAM' coaching philosophies of the past.
Even though the stuff in this book specifically about the Swans is short - just a few pages - it's a very interesting read, and through Ray's tales of the various organisations he's worked with and their varied approaches to adopting his philosophies, it's possible to get a much better sense of what the "Bloods' culture" is really all about. than you'll ever get from odd references in fluffy newspaper articles.Comment

I think it's pretty straightforward case here...
For mind, you only need to ask two questions:
1. If you were to ask the general public/fans/supporters/players/etc what the picture is of???, they would undoubtedley respond with - Leo Barry Taking a screamer to save the 2005 grand final. Therefore, he is the subject of the picture.
2. Has the AFL OR Tabcorp made any money from the picture???
Having established it's a picture of Leaping Leo Barry, and that someone's making money off it, why shouldn't Leo get a piece of the pie???Comment

The more I hear about this 'Bloods' culture and its team orientation and focus on individuals as they are different and blah blah blah, the more made-up it sounds.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.

b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
