Though in many respects the damage already has been done, ESPN apparently has asserted its copyright protections as to the various Chris Berman videos posted on YouTube by the user who goes by the name “ampex2000.”

Berman videos posted by other users also are now blocked, with the same message.

It’s unclear why ESPN waited so long to assert its rights.  Pretty much anyone who has wanted to see the videos has seen them by now.  Many, many times.
