Update: NukeTheStars's recent english commentaries have been taken offline.
Update: moktira requested information that he posted relating to the nevake account and their copyright claims here. Go read it before posting.
Has anyone looked into this much? There's some discussion in Sayle's thread but it seems like a company is basically blocking BW Proleague content. The only thing I can find on them is that they had the rights in 2007.
This has begun to affect the Nevake account as well:

So they sell Estro and start blocking youtube vids. Great.

Yeah I didn't notice. This does piss my off royally. Though I think it may be wise to get the videos off of nevake that can't be found anywhere else onto a HDD. Just incase they try to shut the channel down.

OGN-Blizzard deal = This is 100% OGN material... I fail to see how IEG has any copyrights here. :S

What's so international about them if they're blocking us from watching BW, without offering us an alternative source which they can monitor etc.
Screw that, dicks...

I thought IEG has nothing to do with BW anymore? Didn't the whole KeSPA/Blizzard thing take all rights from IEG?

KeSPA did sell the rights of PROLEAGUE to IEG long time ago, but not sure if that's the case today.
KeSPA/Blizzard was on the rights of broadcasting BROODWAR and Blizzard related games.

ieg paid for 3 years of rights in 2007 right? so they shouldnt have any rights on 2011 material from what i know
|
Is there any way for TL to officially respond to this?
|
i hope this problem can be solved...
does anybody have more information on this?!
|
It looks like the earlier games from Proleague 11-12 are still watchable, maybe KeSPA struck up another deal with IGN that begun in December? It seems kind of dumb, but copyright is a bitch some days.

Hopefully someone can confirm whether or not they really have the rights so I can dispute the copyright :D

Probably viable also to just upload to megaupload. I didn't even know what IEG was before this thread. What have they ever done?

I'm trying to familiarize myself with the Kespa/IEG/OGN/MBC issue in 2007 through the old threads, but it's still a little confusing. (Obviously) given how PL survived, what was the specific conclusion of that ordeal?
|
I'll ask around.
First stop: dailyesports reporter >_>;;

What. The. Fuck.
Seriously? So all of a sudden IEG decides to start caring about blocking PL content...awesome. Really hope they don't legally have rights to any of this and it gets shut down in a hurry.
I'm actually kinda nervous because Nevake is like the last remaining bastion of BW games, many gams might be findable but they are scattered all over random channels. If Nevake got the axe.....
EDIT: It does seem only videos from the 30th are blocked and no others so hopefully it's just a mistake.
