You guys have been streaming on youtube for a while now right? Nice to see an announcement, it was strange to see korean pros getting 12 viewers...

I'm really happy for your organization that you've had a positive response from this venture.

I already see the german GEMA blocking this YouTube channel due to whatever reasons

According to youtube, there are some problems with germany. Some people can view some can't.... A proxy is an alternative, but we apologise for this. I think unstable may be able to shed more light on the reasoning, behind the block.

I really like the structured streaming schedule.

well the reason is known by anyone in germany. gema is a very greedy group which wants money from youtube (a big chunk) for every video that is played on youtube which contains material of gema-artists. youtube doesnt want to pay that much money so they just block the content for germany.
no one should be able to watch music videos or any video with gema-artists in it from germany. if they are, they are most likely using proxys already ( like me ).

I think there is an easy workaround for this. :-)
But obviously, being able to watch it legally would be the best.

This was a legitimate concern for me when I was first told to look into the platform. However because we will not be using any copyright material on any of our casts and have legal permission from blizzard to run our events they have no basis to request our channel be blocked. Personally however I do support what they do because many video's on you tube do steal music from artists without compensation but this is a non issue in our case. It has been brought up before that streamers playing music on stream while playing ad's to make money is technically illegal, its just they aren't worth chasing at this time for many record labels.
That said we are going to be keeping a close eye on the player streams to make sure they don't play music we have no rights to broadcast.

This sounds really cool, hope to see a lot more of the FXO guys.
It seems Tear is streaming right now, are you going to get this listed on TL?

Is there any reason why the stream is not available in Germany?
was the same with OSL stream as well as a lot of other youtube livestreams I tried to watch in the past. I am pretty sure this for once is GEMA related but something else.

Looking forward to watching Gumibear and Leenocktopus stream.
Watching right now, It's buffering a lot, quite annoying.

Actually, the question is not about blocking the channel or not. Youtube streams are not (legally) available from Germany, period. So even if you channel is not blocked, there is no legal means for people in Germany to watch your stream. :-/

This was not the information our Google rep gave us. As we brought it up with them on multiple occasions and have had people in Germany tune into the streams with no issues before.
