If you’re looking for Premier League goal highlights, don’t expect to find them in the form of GIFs and Vines on Twitter. Similar to FIFA, the Premiere League is attempting to ban fans from posting short clips of plays that happen on the field.
In an interview with Newsbeat, Dan Johnson, director of communications at the Premier League, said: “You can understand that fans see something, they can capture it, they can share it, but ultimately it is against the law.”
“It’s a breach of copyright and we would discourage fans from doing it, we’re developing technologies like gif crawlers, Vine crawlers, working with Twitter to look to curtail this kind of activity.”
He added: “I know it sounds as if we’re killjoys but we have to protect our intellectual property.”
