The National Basketball Association filed suit August 28, 1996 against America Online and STATS, Inc., an electronic sports media company. The NBA claims that AOL's play-by-play accounts and descriptions of all NBA basketball games while the games are in progress, violates "the essence of the NBA's most valuable property -- real-time NBA game information."
