DirecTV asked the FCC for confidential treatment of video clips from its “Short Cuts” product. The firm no longer has the copyrights needed to support public display of these clips and the company would like them to be withheld from public inspection, it said in an ex parte filing posted Thursday to docket 11-154 (http://bit.ly/1sS4E0w). The DBS company provided the commission with the clips via IP during the 2013-2014 season as part of its NFL Sunday Ticket Max service, it said. “They are no longer available to the public from DIRECTV, and should not be made available indirectly through the Commission’s website."
