Manugoals.com
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manugoals.com was a web site devoted to providing videos of goals scored by Manchester United (also known as "Man U"), one of the world's most famous football clubs. The web site, titled "Mr. Wood's Manchester United Goals," was in operation from 2002 until 2004, when, after receiving law suit threats from the Football Association, the web site's owner chose to discontinue service. Though the web site was free of charge for users, the web site's owner was in breach of copyright laws. At the time of the site's opening, it was the only web site on the internet that offered such services free of charge.
[edit] The aftermath
Since Manugoals.com's demise, numerous web sites providing similar services have opened. Manugoals.com is thought by many as a martyr in the struggle to provide high quality highlights of Manchester United's matches to people around the world.
