At this rate I can see the result already, Blizz will get the money for IP right but they will have no control over tournaments, players and cannot apply any "weird" condition to MBC/OGN/Kespa. | ||

Zona put it very well too, after 9 pages of discussion there is no doubt in my mind that there was foul play intended here. | ||

Blizz only started getting involved after KeSPA started selling the broadcasting rights to these stations. That's when it became illegal. Also, seeing as 80% of the SC1 and BW sales were made before 2001, OGN/MBCGame have little to do with it's popularity outside Korea since e-sports is a very small and niche market. You also forgot the countless illegal servers for BW that are still up and running in and outside Korea. Blizz should have this in the bag as far as law is concerned. | ||

Not one of your arguments even makes sense Blizz only started getting involved after KeSPA started selling the broadcasting rights to these stations. That's when it became illegal. Right, so this justifies blizzard sueing MBC because? Unless i am grossly misinformed MBC wasn't selling the broadcast rights to itself. If this is Blizzards reasoning, they would be sueing Kespa, and has no bearing on the current court case. Also, seeing as 80% of the SC1 and BW sales were made before 2001, OGN/MBCGame have little to do with it's popularity outside Korea since e-sports is a very small and niche market. Yes given almost half the copies of bw sold ever were in korea, clearly the foreigner market is the only one that matters right? You also forgot the countless illegal servers for BW that are still up and running in and outside Korea. Yes, and this is, again, relevant to the case against MBC how? MBC isn't running these servers, let alone profiting off them. You also forgot about the Somali Pirates who hijack ships, who are equally irrelevant to the current case. Or any number of people in the world involved in illegal activity who are likewise not relevant to the case at hand. | ||

Almost as funny as the fact that there seems to be more foreigners supporting KeSPA than there are Koreans. After all the retarded shit KeSPA pulled all these years, they get no second guess chances from me. Kind of sad to see the last years of BW full of soo much pointless conflict and cock waving on both sides. | ||

money back then is worth more than money now ( inflation/usury/"quantitative easing" aka printing more money will make it worth less ) | ||
