ESPN, Univision Crackdown on Social Media Sharing

Messi - Argentina vs Netherlands

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, ESPN, Univision and FIFA are seeking to protect their exclusive rights to World Cup footage by asking other purveyors to stop creating highlights on social media.


With the technology advancement nowadays, sport fans are easily access to the social media by posting photos or videos of the FIFA World Cup when they are on site or in front of the television. They may be too excited with their excellent performance of the team they supported. However, the sports fans should respect the exclusive rights that have been given to ESPN, Univision and FIFA.
