Even though it's the player controlling the units in the game, it's still blizzard's game engine, 3d models, graphics, music, etc. | ||

If somebody would run popular channel then they could demand from him to get commercial, and pay them. They become much more greedy after they had become billion dollar company so your argument is rather silly, it would not take much work for them to send an email. | ||

It's pretty much just there to ensure that no one starts selling replays or charging people to view replays on a website or w/e. | ||

People shouldn't poo-poo these threads. There is a very serious ongoing legal discussion regarding the future of software rights. You may only care about SC2 but there is a bigger picture that some of us can appreciate. | ||

They'd have to contend with the doctrine of fair use, since one could argue that the footage is being used for the purpose of review. | ||

Look, I know Blizzard isn't doing so great in our communities eyes, but like everyone's already been saying, a few of you fellows are looking at this thing a little too hard. They aren't going to take over the world anytime soon. I promise. | ||

Jon747 has more than 50 million upload views. Not huge, but more than several channels run by various companies. If Blizzard wanted to squeeze him for money, they could have done so a long time ago. | ||

If they would even brother with that, then it would with somebody that have popular channel where he updates games often. It is rather obvious that commentaries are not reviews you would want to go with curt, and lie about it? It is not as ridiculous as it may seem: -very small cost for blizzard, just send some emails, who would want to go to curt against them, and they would likely win in most. -popular youtube channels make profit on commercials, and Blizzard would just get a cut from it while doing nothing. | ||

Jon747 obviously doesn't meet the criteria that I had set myself before: "If somebody would run popular channel then they could demand from him to get commercial, and pay them." jon747 videos are viewed by very small number of people there is no money there, he can't get commercial, and make much from it, but if the numbers that hdh invitational have could be sustain they could want the channel to be commercialized, and take cut from commercials money | ||
