Everyone jumping on the hate train without even knowing the full story.

Have you tried contacting GOM? They obviously didn't just come to TL and shut down all the BW streams, so everyone should quit their stupid conspiracy theories.

They could have just issued that to livestream to shutdown any GSL restreams and let livestream figure out what to shutdown (GOM having to send a new statement everytime to livestream might get tedious and too slow to remove the restreams) and they got confused. Would like to hear their side of the story, pretty stupid if they actually did it themselves. It just doesn't seem like any other streamer has had this problem that isn't using livestream, and if gom was targeting BW streamers they could just pull them from TL and go through there.

Yeah some pretty one-sided hate here. Would like to know the story from the other side, and were you restreaming Korean BW-tournaments or your own games?

Killing off your stream if you where restreaming Korean BW-tournaments would be a douche move but they are involved in a law suit regarding IP rights of thoose very tournaments so yeah, quite possible they do not want them restreamed. Douche move for sure if so but nothing that would make me horribly upset either.

Japanese anime/manga companies usually turn a somewhat blind eye to fan translations of work that otherwise would not get translated (i.e. before it has been licensed by a western company) but some crack down on this aswell. Since fan translating involves spreading of the raw scans that makes it possible for the Japanese readers to download and read aswell, or read the english translations for free.

Douche move for sure, but would not get me to not buy/support a company.

When we take down a re-stream we make sure to take a screenshot of each illegal re-stream.

At 09 Mar 2011 05:45 (UTC) we found livestream.com/grobycsstarcraftstream
streaming a content with visible GOMTV.net logo (GSL series) on the top right
and have requested for the takedown of the illegal restream.

We have checked the screenshot taken at the time againt today and we have verified that there was no mistake with our decision.

If you truly believe that we have unreasonably requested for the termination of your livestream account then we suggest you contact livestream and GOMtv.net.

P.S. We have been taking down the materials that violate our copyrights such as GSTL and GSL series.. That means that we have not been taking down BW materials.

Thank you.

This is a little off-topic, but how/why did they censor Jinro? I read about that in one of the answers on the GOM page.

Like we have said, the material was not a BW material but a GSL material. A match from last night to be more specific.

If the aforementioned livestream user does believe that we have unreasonably requested for the termination of his livestream account then he should contact GOMtv.net and livestream to resolve the issue. We have not received any form of contact from the user.
