The World Cup was wonderful for so many reasons this year, whether it was watching Arjen Robben’s 5,268 dives, Luis Suarez’s moment of madness, or the animated facial expressions of Mexico’s manager Miguel Herrera, there was always something to share. The same is about to happen to the Premier League in England. In an interview with BBC’s Newsbeat, the Premier League’s director of communications, Dan Johnson, has warned soccer fans that sharing goals online is against the law. Its a breach of copyright and we would discourage fans from doing it, were developing technologies like GIF crawlers, Vine crawlers, working with Twitter to look to curtail this kind of activity. The crawlers will presumably hunt for popular Vines and submit requests for the material to be removed automatically.
