The Daily Beast found more than 40 accounts used by Barstool Sports to repost copyrighted material. The accounts ripped and posted copyrighted clips embedded and reposted by Barstool, per The Daily Beast. Using the site's password reset system, The Daily Beast discovered the accounts were associated with email addresses under the barstoolsports.com domain. However, Barstool accounts could still repost from the shadow accounts without fear of being impacted by the takedown notices. "Their business is built on stealing other people's IP," The Daily Beast reported Rubin said of Barstool.

☆ After divesting Barstool Sports, Penn Entertainment CEO says Dave Portnoy is the only 'natural owner' for the company long term
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Penn Entertainment CEO Jay Snowden told CNBC's Jim Cramer and CNBC's Contessa Brewer that the only natural owner of Barstool Sports was David Portnoy, who founded the company in 2003. Penn Entertainment, a gambling firm, announced Tuesday it would be divesting Barstool — selling the entity back to Portnoy — while entering a $1.5 billion deal with Disney 's ESPN to launch a betting sportsbook. "Dave Portnoy is the only natural owner for Barstool sports long term," Snowden said. Snowden explained that the company realized its product was quickly becoming outdated by having to rely on a third-party platform. The ESPN deal marks the first time the brand will be on a sports betting platform, known as ESPN Bet.
