(AP Photo/Gerry Broome) (Associated Press) The NCAA has set new rules for live-blogging of sporting events, limiting the amount of times a blogger can post new information during a game in an effort to fight a perceived simulacrum of re-broadcasting, Techdirt reports. The new rules are a compromise after an incident in June when a live blogger was ejected from a college baseball game. The rules only apply to credentialed reporters from established publications—private bloggers who pay the price of admission fall under free speech. Critics point out the obvious loophole, and the larger questions of whether or not live blogging threatens official broadcasts, as most followers of live blogs do so because they are unable to see the game on TV.
