But if you feel that strongly, post them on your web server, send the NFHS the web address, hire your lawyer and let's see who wins!

What makes you think they registered? They just put a copyright notice on, which anyone is entitled to do. But that doesn't establish an actual copyright.

If that were true, I could put a copyright notice on it too and establish another copyright. And so on.

In order for a copyright to exist on something, it has to be copyrightable, original to the claimant, and otherwise legal. But it's not illegal to put a copyright notice on something that turns out not be have a copyright.

Please do what Bktballref said then if you really think that.

I'm waiting for my friend the IP lawyer to reply, because I don't want it to get "cold" in case Fed acts as you say, I want to be ready to go right away. But if Chris takes too long to get back to me, I'll put it up anyway, because after this month Fed probably wouldn't care about this season's rules, and I want to make sure they have enough stake to want to defend it if they can.
