A federal judge ruled a big win for fantasy baseball managers on Tuesday. The judge ruled against Major League Baseball's claim that "intellectual property laws and so-called "right of publicity" make it illegal for fantasy leagues to make money off the identities and stats of professional players." The judge ruled that the First Amendment overruled MLB's claim, because fantasy leagues are "disseminating the same statistical information found in newspapers every day."
