Slashdot reports on the IOC's efforts in the anti-marketing area:
the IOC is barring competitors, coaches, and support personnel from writing firsthand accounts of their Olympic experience, on the web or in print, for the duration of the Games. Nor are they allowed to ever post photographs or movies that they've taken, including media of themselves, even after the Games are finished. They've threatened to disqualify anyone that violates their restrictions and sue them for monetary damages. Looks like an effort to clamp down on grassroots, word-of-mouth publicity for the Olympics
Boy, it's a good thing that they've been selling out the arenas, hmm? What are these morons thinking? "Gee, our product isn't selling well. Let's tell fewer people and see how that works out".
