Russell Slade Suing Football Data Collection Businesses

[Notts78]

The players have made it public. Otherwise, every newspaper match report and photograph for the last 150 years would be an offence.

The players will have to argue that there's a difference between what Football Radar do and what Leigh Curtis does. They both collect personal data on footballers and sell it to other people.

A bit like Experian and Equifax for all of us.

Yeah but I'm not asking Experian and Equifax to pay me for the data they hold.

Maybe Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer should pay every player that they analyse on Match of the Day.

Don't see this being successful, unless the players just request a copy of their own data (which anyone can do with Experian/Equifax or anyone else) and sell it on themselves.
