GomTV holds the rights to all starcraft content in Korea. Meaning if you are streaming korean BW, technically they have the rights to it. Livestream will bow to those rights. KeSPA/OGN/MBC won't and are fighting them on it.

Wow is that for real? D= Keep on trucking Grobyc!! We need more BW!!

May I suggest own3d.tv? Highest quality, I like their interface stream wise, with no buttons that pop up letting viewers pick quality all the damn time, etc. Looks good, and is a clean program (plus I know some people who work there).

Gom just realized that SC2 sucks, so they try to kill everything BW so our only choice is to watch SC2

That doesn't make shit for sense. I guess they were like 'hey, code S is on and 95 people on that stream are watching bw instead!'

Isn't the ownership to bw broadcasting still legally ambiguous? I doubt the specific issue is in Korean legal codes and there are no precedents... I mean, why would an internet company not tell GOM to fuck off and talk to them after they win in court.

This really is pretty crazy, that they are going to go hunting for random BW streamers of proleague.

Also for all those saying go to justin, what's to say GOM won't do the exact same thing with justin TV?

Fucking GOM, more reason to hate those assholes. Goto Justin.tv, not ustream please, ustream discriminates against Australians and that shit just ain't cool (mass lag when watching).

I feel like streaming all of Brokeback Mountain on my livestream channel out of spite.

As for new provider... Don't go with j.tv:

Yeah, seems like a good way to attract hate from the community with a very small upside.

I dunno i switched to justin and played music and haven't got any notices. Are you sure thats not only for producers? (aka: people getting advertising money from jtv)
