Is the yankees NY copyright?

Difficult - probably, although to be honest, it would probably be one of those things that you'd have to try, and then find out! I would suspect the font itself is trademarked.\n\nCopyright isn't the right word here - it's trademark or servicemark. Copyright is whether you wrote those words, trademark is the 'look and feel' of something.\n\nIn these cases it's not so much about what the words are, but whether or not you are 'passing off', or trying to make your product look like someone elses. That's why "FONY" written on something in Sony's font would be illegal. According to the Major League Baseball site, "the names, nicknames, logos, uniform designs, color combinations, and slogans designating the Major League Baseball clubs and entities, and their respective mascots, events and exhibitions" are all trade/servicemarks.

No. You are creating a backup copy in case the hard copy is damaged. *wink, wink* Seriously though, as long as you're not making it publicly available I don't think that would be considered copyright infringement.

The law is contradictory on the point.  On the one hand, fair use legislation allows it.  On the other hand, the DMCA legislation prohibits defeating copy protection.  The courts have been leaning in favor of the movie studios, but the issue is not fully settled.

Neither\n\nIt is not required in the MLB, although it is in the NFL, NBA, and NHL.  Only the Giants and the Yankees do *not* put names on, just numbers.

I'm not sure if it's trademark or copyright law, but yes.  The best case dealing with this was from the late 1980s, when Mattel sued Topps because the "Garbage Pail Kids" cards produced by the latter too closely resembled Cabbage Patch kids.

Mariano Riveria is wearing it with the Yankees right now.\n\nThey retired the number for Jackie Robinson but anyone who was wearing it at the time was aloud to keep it.

If it was just about the payroll, then the Yankees would win every year.  (Their payroll is almost double that of the Red Sox, by the way.)  I do agree that watching the game should be fun, although for me the rivalries are part of that fun.  It's a shame that some people take it too seriously and ruin it for other fans.

yes, it is George Steinbrenner's rules. Everyone who got to the Yankees all have to do it. Esteban Loaiza had to shave when he got to the yankees, and Randy Johnson had to drop the mullet, perhaps the reason why he lost his zip on his fast ball. And Johnny damon is no exception to this rule, there goes his jesus haircut and beard.

Unless an original creation or in the public domain, I think you can pretty much assume everything is copyrighted, such as images from web pages, books, movies, tv shows, team logos, cartoons characters, board and video games, celebrities, bands, etc. etc.  \n\nYou can check the copyright of specific images at the source of the publicication of the original image. \n\nIt might just be easier to search out resources for public domain images, and here's a good one from Wikipedia to start with:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain_image_resources

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

You have a baseball made by the J. DeBeers Co. (J stands for Jacob). DeBeers was bought by Worth Sporting Goods and recently Worth was purchased by Rawlings.\n\nJacob DeBeers started making baseball in 1889 in Albany NY.\n\nCould easily be over 30 years, however, don't get your hopes up on how much it is worth.

This is a very interesting question... \n\nFirst you must have experience in producing the product.  I have a friend who decided to create a new product.  He acquired the patent for about $12,000.00 and had several teams interested in buying the product...  In steps the MLB and he went through an extensive process to produce the product that he had the patent on.  They actually would not license him until he had more experience.  Further they suggested he bring in an experienced partner.  He ended up doing a year interning with a company and that was still not enough for MLB.  \n\nIf you have experience with the product (over 2 years) and are financially solid.  You can get licensed through MLB.  The contact information is as follows:\n\nMajor League Baseball   \n245 Park Avenue\nNew York, NY 10167\n\n(212) 931-7800  ask for Mrs. Jackson in the Merchandise Licensing Department.

Steinbrenner could definitely sell the Yankees for a billion dollars. The way Forbes comes up with how much a team is worth is by liquidating all of their assets. Like the stadium, name and liscensing. With the Yankees, you also have YES network, and that boosts what the team is worth because it belongs to the Yankees name. You;ve also got to remember that it's really only worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I think the Red Sox were sold a few years back for 686 million. They weren't worth that much. But that's what the previous owner was able to get for it. On the other hand, when the Montreal Expos were getting ready to fold their franchise, they tried to sell it first. And nobody wanted them. Major League Baseball ended up taking over ownership of the Expos for a payout of . . . nothing. Clearly a professional baseball team is worth more than $0 dollars, but nobody wanted them
