Making Statistics Available - Copyright Issues?
I'm considering making the statistics that I scraped from the NFL's website available in .csv files on this blog. This way, anyone who had the problem that I had can download 2001-07 game data. However, I'm concerned that the NFL or Stats.com might send their attorneys after me. Does anyone know about the copyright issues, as they relate to sports statistics?

I think you are okay with uploading the data. Eons ago before the World Wide Web we use to run Fantasy Sports in a forum on Compuserve. We uploaded all the weekly stats into their file share area. People used them to double check their box scores.
