Author Topic: Daytona 500 on the Big Screen Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-12-2009 10:09 PM                     Everybody knows the NFL allows a max screen size of 55inches and no more than 3 screens in an establishment. Does Nascar similarly restrict the presentation of their races?  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 02-13-2009 01:35 AM                     I think NASCAR is even more restrictive on their broadcasts than the NFL....  |  IP: Logged David Zylstra Master Film Handler Posts: 432 From: Novi, MI, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 02-13-2009 12:28 PM                     I was told by someone that the 55" rule comes from copyright law (in regards to public broadcasts) and content owners have to be the ones who actively pursue enforcement (i.e. write cease and desist letters to those who they do not want to show the content, like theatres but not bars).  |  IP: Logged
