This analogy does a good job speaking to the morality of how one should assert their intellectual property rights. However, legally it kinda breaks down. The paint maker has a utility patent on his paint, whereas Blizzard also has a copyright (and that's where it derives the authority to license the transmitting and broadcasting of its product).

I think we should wait... roughtly 2 hours to see what KeSPA is saying about this whole situation. Anyway, wouldn't this be a thread for the BW forum?

Can someone explain how the OP is a metaphor for the Starcraft situation? Do people just see lots of words + shitting on blizzard and automatically think the post is good?

Paint is more like a programming language then the game itself. The artist would be blizzard, and KeSPA would be some gallery that charges money for the public to see the painting.

If I create the Mona Lisa. I then allow an art gallery to display it at their gallery for 3 years, for a nominal fee. After the 3 years, the Mona Lisa is supposed to come back to me possession, but the Art Gallery won't give it back to me. Who's painting is it?

IMO this is almost as good (if not better) than the MSL finals hype article that copied 300. Very well written.

I actually looked up Lizzare Atisione on wikipedia, before figuring this out..

It's not nearly as much about that as it is about the original paint allowing painters to make beautiful things with it, and thinking that making better paint will make better paintings and trying to enforce it to give you the credit.

Meh. Screw the Mona Lisa.. Postcard sized painting hidden behind sheets of glass and hundreds of people, hardly worth your time except to say you've seen it. :D

Nice writing and message. Enjoyed reading it.

That's part of it, but I was talking about the withdrawal of the painting made with original paint and licensing the new painter. Basically the Kespa/Gom situation. The whole SC2 thing is all entangled in this whole thing too though.

I googled it

Did you mean Lizard Atisione?
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

I'd agree with you, but I didn't copy 300. Only the pictures did :<

Elegant post, terrible metaphor. Kespa has spent the past decade getting a "free ride" from Blizzard. They have made plenty of money off of another company's product while trying really hard to prevent anyone else from broadcasting SC:BW. I shed no tears over their getting shut down by Blizzard. If Kespa loses the ensuing legal battle, all the good players will go to gomtv.

Great writing.
The point is made that Blizzard is not fostering the eSports culture.
