: Arkansas Business Litigation BlogESPN Seeks Reduction in Licensing Fees After Eighth Circuit's Fantasy Baseball Decision
By H. William Allen et al.

Major League Baseball Advanced Media, L.P., 505 F.3d 818 (8th Cir. 2007) (previously posted 10/16/07). The ramifications from this opinion are now taking effect.
