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. Well, ownership to BW broadcasting is only being contested in Korea, not the US. Here, since Blizzard is a US company, what Blizzard says goes. And GomTV legally has full rights. Still, what a disgusting thing for them to do. I'm not going to watch any GSL matches unless its a foreigner. TLAF FIGHTING! | ||

This was never the case for BW. They've been streaming BW for years and years, and we never had trouble on this website (with Korean events at least... maybe another exception for GOMTV Classics). | ||

Nah, I was thinking of switching anyway, I'm just rolling my eyes at GOM because it feels like such a bold and pointless move. My new computer is a fucking beast and will be build in the next week or so hopefully, so that'll hope with more streaming, because my current rig blows pretty bad. If I have to I might even end up upgrading internet (15 download/2Mbps upload is like $67 here though :S) so I can stream more effectively. I really do like streaming, but my setup is pretty bad to be honest. | ||

 Thank you for not bowing down and continuing with your streaming! That goes for all the streamers, you are keeping BW accessible and alive for all of us. | ||

A+ Blizzard, I love what you're doing. /endsarcasm edit: I know it was GOM's doing, but Blizzard is the enabler | ||

If it happens again or happens to another streamer for BW content then it might be quite suspicious. I do love GOM for all the entertainment they have brought however nothing will beat the excitement BW games bring. Never give up, BW streamers. On a sidenote livestream is probably my least favourite stream service, for me: own3d.>ustream>jtv>livestream I personally would've said this in the first place. However, given the 2nd case between MBC/OGN and GOMtv, I doubt that it was done by mistake. | ||

Kespa is pretty gay, but GomTV is no angel. this doesn't make any sense. you don't pay to watch gom because they shut down an illegal osl/msl stream? gom have the BW broadcast rights now, remember. | ||

That means crackdown on kids trying to "have a good time" by playing on a LAN, banning those awful people trying to stream and show off what they love, and starting a system where people have to actually pay money if they want to enjoy features that were previously enjoyed for free! A+ Blizzard, I love what you're doing. /endsarcasm edit: I know it was GOM's doing, but Blizzard is the enabler Wouldn't surprise me to learn that Blizzard is actively encouraging Gom to go enforce the IP rights. In fact I'd be surprised to learn otherwise. I wonder if shutting down pro brood war viewership in the west is going to be their policy going forward. I really, really hope not. It's technically illegal but unless they can offer an alternative of some kind this is pretty bad. | ||

I'm trying to think of reasons for this to happen. either: 1) there was a time you played a pack of highlits that included something from a GOM invitational 2) some one saw starcraft and confused the two 3) GOM is getting more agressive about their pseudo-rights, and other industries are reconising them. All seem unlikely, but I can't think of another. Athough reading through the thread, people seem pretty set on number 3. | ||
