Norwich City kit leak: it was public domain as soon as it appeared on #ncfc website. Blame the web techs, not the lad. http://t.co/A1quar71
Hang on, *police* were called? Police? They called the police? Are all football clubs crybabies, or just Norwich City? http://t.co/wsOv8i23
Amazing overreaction by #NCFC. They called in police after fan leaked a pic of their new kit before it was released: http://t.co/oIsUU0ss
Not entirely sure http://t.co/2pifSPGP is in breach of Computer Misuse Act, as images in public source code
The police should be thoroughly embarrassed by this. No law broken here. http://t.co/eAgoG3Qf
Norwich City call in the cops over new kit published by teen boy ahead of launch http://t.co/vaqt0yc3 @NorwichCityFC #FAIL #AREYOUSERIOUS?
Lad posts picture he found online. Cops charge him under Computer Misuse Act. Wait. What? http://t.co/3Pv96Vlk
BBC News - Norwich City kit published on internet by boy ahead of launch http://t.co/F5qWqRgz
“@matthew_mella: 17-yr-old leaks footy kit online, police involved. he viewed source code of live site http://t.co/DPZo3sly” < this is crazy
http://t.co/8tDDQkzh - If the pictures were available on the site, regardless of how obfuscated they were, surely it's the club's problem?
Football's all about respecting the fans http://t.co/bLqCgoGd (cheers to @DrewGROF).

RT @MarkGoodge: Norwich City FC attempt to have teenager prosecuted because their web designers are inept. http://t.co/bZlY4MTZ
Would anyone give a toss about the Norwich football kit if they hadn't bullied a teenager who found it on their site? http://t.co/Kz6fmlZK
Just saw this: http://t.co/8WMMUtgH, #ncfc excel themselves once again! WHERE ARE YOU? #itfc
How is this an offence - surely they were already in the public domain when posted online? http://t.co/0CmBy2ft
