IMPORTANT EDIT
iCCup.Raelcun:
IF you see this message then it means that the streamer is not marked as a gaming stream. Root Minigun had the same problem and had to get it fixed by JTV. These limits do not appear on the gaming streams. So instead of starting a shit ton of JTV hate when they are still supporting tournaments contact any streamer you see this for and tell them their stream is not marked correctly.
Which means we gamers are still safe, as long as the streamers mark their streams as "gaming" streams.
IMPORTANT EDIT NUMBER 2!

Hey everyone - Kevin from Justin.tv here. We have in fact removed all country restrictions from our gaming content, so please PM me if anyone sees this again. I'd really appreciate you guys helping spread the word that our intention is that we never restrict viewership for gaming as we're really investing a lot of time and effort into making JTV awesome for gamers.
Again - if you do see this on a gaming channel please PM me with the channel and country you're viewing from and we'll make sure to fix it.

REALLY?
Like, "So I know someone who is making a stream, getting money from ads from it. I'll watch a bit so I get some of his ads- oh wait."
Seriously, Now we are forbidden to watch streams without paying for it? I was fine contributing to my favorite streamers with their commercials, now I have to PAY justin.tv ASWELL?
Wasn't justin.tv, like, supporting all kinds of e-sports? What kind of awkward support is this?!
I seriously loved the site, but it was too good to be true.
If anyone could send an workaround, I'd love it.

O_O I haven't ever gotten that yet... Here's to hoping I never do I hope they don't start charging on justin tv to watch T_T
|
Finally being Australian benefits me on the internet.

Jusin.tv always has had country restrictions, before they were REALLY bad... About 50 people from each EU country.
This is the reason many Europeans hate justin.tv... until very recently it was just silly trying to watch anything popular on there.
Their servers in EU still isn't up to par with the competition tbh.
EDIT:
SHIT! They got me too! The hell, it's 4am here in sweden... how frikking small is the cap for us exactly?! I want my cella damn it. FU justin, I see you've crawled back into the hole you came from.
|
D: I haven't seen this yet, and I hope I never do. Justin.tv is easily the best quality for me, so I hope I will be able to continue watching players on it.
|
I'm brazzilian too, and althought I had this problem a feel times like 1 year ago, it has not ever happenned again ever since.
Anyway, 10 dolars is just too high
|
What sucks is missing a tournament cause some guy decided to stream the champions league =/ This almost always happens to me during Champions League nights.
I should check their premium account, maybe it's worth buying one if it's reasonable.
|
This has been around a while, thankfully never for the uk but ive been watching jtv since soon after it started and this country thing has always been there, ive never heard them charging for it though ;/
|
Ugh. Please don't go that route JTV, that kind of thing could put a serious dent in the growth of tournaments and such once they start reaching larger viewer numbers (which apparently is happening?) and thus e-sports as a whole. Not everyone can put their own stream setup together..
An ad free/higher quality stream or something I could live with to pay extra for, but the streams I watch are still a bit too spread out over hosts to justify several monthly accounts like that.
|
Funny, I can watch like 10 seconds before getting that.
I'd totally buy it, if I knew that the money was going directly into the casters I'm watching.

URL scam site? Sorry, I got this from teamliquid.net itself. Like, I just clicked to watch SlayerS_Cella's stream.

No. It's on the TL embeds too. Justin have done this before many many times for me in the past, and now it seems like it's back...
EDIT:ninja'd

Yep, same thing here. I guess they are going to die again.
Wonder who keeps going back to this brilliant idea.

The problem is that you live in Brazil. Jtv gets 0 ad money streaming to Brazil. Only advertisements to wealthy nations like USA, Canada, some EU countries are worth some money. Then they have to pay for bandwidth from USA to Brazil which can be potentially more expensive than USA to USA bandwidth. That's Jtv wants you to pay money. Presently, Ustream and Livestream is willing to lose money streaming to Brazil, but Jtv is not willing to do that.

I think if they start doing this en masse people will switch from it, so im confident it wont be a huge deal, justin tv dont hold a big enough share to force peopel to use it yet.

Willing to use global ads/loose a little bit: Own3d, ustream, livestream, sc-streams (prob 99% of the services out there)
Is cheap as ****: justin.tv
Back to old habits I see. This was shit before and is shit now. Don't go down this road, you finally got a good number of streamers... don't ban 90% of the world from it.

Money makes the world go round :-] better to give the money to justin than banks imo
|
that sucks.... they must have bandwidth issues from certain countries
