If KeSPA was all for the continuation of BW they would acknowledge Blizzards' IP rights. They haven't and forced the start of the new PL season, inevitably forcing Blizzard to respond by sueing. | ||

That if it wasn't for MBC's and OGN's pioneering the scene, SC2 would have been worst than WC3(WHERE IS WC3 NOW?). and E-sports wouldn't have been as big and the need to balance games for competitive play wouldn't be a big issue. sick and tired of arguing these types of threads, where all misinformed assholes post like they know shit. there isn't any healthy discussion here at all. some are just pissing at each other. fuck this. MBC Hwaiting Because your post is informed and a prime example of a healthy discussion? You're saying that everyone who isn't surprised or against Blizzard sueing is an asshole ... | ||

IP rights .. its not like MBC nor OGN nor KeSPA are selling things with the label "Starcraft" in them. note, Selling them is not the same as Using them. its not like kespa is selling Zerg Zergling Hamburgers, or a Motorcycle called "Terran Vulture" .. what Kespa "sell" are progamers and the time where the broadcasting channels can advertise items from other companies who wants to be advertised to the fans or SPECTATOR who watches the progamers play. because thats what kespa represent. the players. do correct me if i said wrong. or if i understood it wrong | ||

People have to remember thought, IP right is the ONLY reason why games like BW etc are made. If those arent respected then theres no income. So analogies comparing to physical products like bicycles are retarted. Second, how can KeSPA claim starcraft to be public property yet charge broadcast fees. I think that mostly companies owning IP rights to games like Blizzard does, doesnt mind if their games are used for whatever, as long as it isnt for commercial purposes. | ||

http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/view.daily?idx=33735 My Korean is not good enough to translate the whole thing. But one statement is clear: MBC intends to launch MSL next week. They say that if Blizzard sues, then MBC will response according to procedure.[no specifics mentioned] MBCGame FIGHTING! | ||

When you think about it objectively though, Blizzard has every right to own the game they made. You can look at this from the "it's been 12 years, why would they suddenly care now?" -side. Or you can look at it from the perspective that Blizzard was nice enough to not shut down Proleague when it began all those years ago. If KeSPA was all for the continuation of BW they would acknowledge Blizzards' IP rights. They haven't and forced the start of the new PL season, inevitably forcing Blizzard to respond by sueing. There is argumentation against IP as an enforcable concept alltogether. The fact is - IP IS NOT A SCARCE RESOURCE, only the physical carrier of it is scarce. Property rights exist to solve conflicts over scarce resouces where there cannot exist peaceful co-use of the matter. Intellectual property does not fill this criterion. Furthermore, Intellectual property actually goes against the concept of actual scarce property. In order to enforce artificial scarcity of non-scarce ends(computer game broadcast rights), it infringes the property rights of owners of SCARCE resources(aka the capital of MBC). People have to remember thought, IP right is the ONLY reason why games like BW etc are made. If those arent respected then theres no income. So analogies comparing to physical products like bicycles are retarted. Second, how can KeSPA claim starcraft to be public property yet charge broadcast fees. I think that mostly companies owning IP rights to games like Blizzard does, doesnt mind if their games are used for whatever, as long as it isnt for commercial purposes. Nonsense. Remember, it is child's play for pirates to use a game like Wow on private servers. Easier to buy on the stores. However still, the vast majority prefers Blizz's own servers and play legitimately. It is because of the service! What they are paying for is not the use rights code and data but for the service provided by blizz, along with the demand for the physical scarce products(all the cool manuals posters etc). Same thing with SC2, D2. | ||
