I also think that advocating e-terrorism in order to make things "right" sounds like one of the worst ways to right this wrong. If you look at the number and size of my posts in this thread, you will quickly see that I am one of the more angry ones about this. I am not going to buy another MLG stream pass again if this comes to be. I will actively tell all of my sc friends to do the same. I will promote the GSL and NASL as better products as they give you a much broader scope of games because they are over time. The replays of MLG are what made it fun and valuable to me and many others. I still think it is just disgusting to go and use a wrong that not only hurts MLG, but hurts players. | ||

I'm ashamed to be part of the same community as you guys. On the Internet, everyone is quick to assume the worst from everyone else. It's interesting how forum anonymity reveals your true colors. | ||

Not a great sample size to make such sweeping accusations, but we'll let it slide. | ||

Also being angry at them for this is pretty silly, since they cant even say what exactly the issue is. Lee said he could edit the replays and the problem would be solved. So he said there is a solution that we would love, he is just not doing it! because Blizzard could sue them!! (really???) We demand a good excuse/reason or replays, we are not that bad, we give options... | ||

This is kinda ridiculous, its not like they're playing with accounts that are only used for MLG games, people are playing on their personal accounts, any info that can be phished from MLG replays is also widely available for 90%+ of players... | ||

Fine, if they want to be like GSL and not distribute replays ok. But provide better streams or vods to the fans. GOMTV has excellent VOD quality. And I already payed for a gold membership which is useless. THAT'S WHAT I'M PISSED ABOUT! | ||

Do you have any evidence what-so-ever that this is the case at all? It would certainly be the first time I've ever heard of replays being sold to a caster in the entire history of SC2. | ||

It would certainly be the first time I've ever heard of replays being sold to a caster in the entire history of SC2. The evidence is the explanation given in the OP is patently ridiculous. Crucially: EDIT: And yes, I know you can find other ways to get to the same information. But I can't stop those. I can reduce risk on things I can control. Not taking those steps is negligent. This is more than ridiculous, its false, except when viewed entirely in a vacuum. If all that is necessary is bruteforcing 3 digits to acquire the relevant information, removing a separate method, even if its significantly easier, will do between nothing and almost nothing to the occurrence of whatever it is that Lee is worried about. More to the point: he can stop the other ways. He can hold the entire tournament from replays, he can provide new accounts for every game, or whatever. There do exist options, but he ignores them because they are obviously untenable for other reasons. Crucially, one of those reasons is that spectators would be pissed. The "e-terrorism" (rofl) mentioned above demonstrates that this is true in this case as well, while at the same time demonstrating the absurdity of Lee's primary argument. All of this argument applies only if replays provide no information that cannot be bruteforced - but if they do, we need proof of this. Its not sufficient to say "we wont release that because then people might do it" when you just removed the vector by which it can be done. | ||
