- What legal reasoning do you have for thinking that restreaming the free stream is legal? - What legal reasoning do you have for thinking that storing these videos of the free stream for later (free) consumption is legal? | ||

I'm pretty sure it's not legal to restream the free stream. You still get ads on the free stream and MLG makes money from that. | ||

These are not the actually REPLAYS themselves. This is just exactly what was streamed at MLG's Website. They didn't want the REPLAYS saved to protect the players. | ||

I'm not saying you're doing something immoral, I just doubt the legality of your actions and will continue to do so until some legal precedent is shown to me. Not that I actually care. I've screenshotted the URLs incase the thread gets deleted. So thank you from myself for the service, you've obviously put a lot of time into this. | ||

This is much like the GSL. It's free to watch the GSL in LQ if you watch it live, but VODs are not free | ||

MLG Actually re-streamed exactly what was on their website stream to Justin.tv because they where aware that alot of viewers couldn't view their website. A ton of other Justin.tv Members did the same thing. I just went and put them in order and together for you guys. Just helping out the Team Liquid community. | ||

This does nothing for them. Sure it's free exposure but MLG cant gauge it and hence it just becomes guesstimates(which are irrelevant). untill proven illegal though I say good work, there will definitely be people who cant pay for a pass and didnt catch the whole free stream live. | ||

If I said "Watch MLG, Dr. Pepper sponsors them", MLG receives no money from Dr. Pepper because I said that. 2. Any actual ads from watching these videos give YOU money. tl;dr: MLG gets no money from this. You get money from this. It's their product you're selling. That's not exactly legal. | ||
