FIFA says screw you to fans and the press

FIFA is trying to say only 5 pictures from every World Cup match will be allowed to be posted to the Web. Some newspapers are banding together and calling lawyers.

Among FIFA's Internet restrictions are a limit of five photos per half of each match and two photos during each half of extra time, including any subsequent penalty shootout.

In a letter to FIFA president Sepp Blatter, WAN has accused FIFA of breaching international conventions on the right of freedom to information.
