->> Photographers arguing and jostling at MotoGP. Can't see what they would have shot anyway from that angle.

| ->> Probably a side profile shot of the champagne ceremony...but all they got instead was a petty cat fight like two middle school girls. |

->> I knew one of them. That guy sometimes can be 'pain in the xxx'.
I experienced it before.
from that spot, the angle is quite nice since Vale loves to give a wave to you plus you can have the podium and the crowd in a single frame |

->> "Okay mate - I'll duck down and you can shoot over my shoulder"
It's not too difficult. |

->> MotoGP is a rough event with photogs.
Most people are very cool, but I find a lot of the foreign press are a bit cut throat. Valentino Rossi has compared the Italian motorcycle press to paparazzi in past interviews. |

| ->> Censorship kicks in: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Dorna Sports. " |

->> "Censorship kicks in..."
Ok, quick question: How does taking a video down because its unauthorized re-posting on YouTube violates copyright translate to censorship? |

->> I'll add my own "huh" to my post. I clearly jumped to the censorship point without enough knowledge of the original post. I can only say that I was dealing with the topic completely unrelated to things here so it was on my mind.
I have no idea if it was captured video from a broadcast, or someone's personal video that was posted; it was locked out when I looked. I guess maybe my thinking was that it was blocked/pulled down due to the potential negative nature. Again, ASSumption gets in my way.
Now back to your regular scheduled show... |

| ->> anytime there is video from Motogp on Youtube....it is shortly taken down. People have put photo and music combos, but are shortly shut down due to Dorna copyright. |

| ->> While I haven't seen the video, it doesn't surprise me. I've covered the MotoGP event here in Indy for the past few years, and there are some really aggressive foreign press photogs, including one or two who try to play a game of Alpha-male with me each year in the scrum after races. Gets old. |
