G911 World Exclusive: Turner Sports Shuts Down Trademark Infringing Handicapping Site
It took almost six months, but a sports handicapping website that was illegally using the trademarked Turner Sports name to imply a relationship between the site and the television sports production company has been shut down, Gambling 911 can report in a world exclusive report!
Gambling 911 reported exclusively last November that the site, at www.tsninsiders.com and called Turner Sports Network, despite its name had no connection to or relationship with Turner Sports, an Atlanta-based company started by mogul Ted Turner that produces sports programming for cable televison channels TBS, TNT and others.
A source at Turner Sports told Gambling 911 at the time that the network was in the process of trying to shut the website down.
Also at the time, the owner of the website admitted the site had no affiliation with Turner Sports in Atlanta.
If you visit www.tsninsiders.com now, you will see a mostly blank page with the message "Forbidden. You don't have permission to access on this server. Apache 2.4 Server at www.tsninsider.com Port 80."
