Sports Illustrated reports that the Tribune Company, the owner of the Chicago Cubs, is suing neighboring bar owners for allowing patrons to watch Cubs games from their rooftops. The Tribune Company maintains that this constitutes a “copyright” infringement. I don’t get it. If the Cubs win, can I sue my neighbor for looking out of his own window and into my yard?

Thanks to The Stella Awards for the tip.
