Obviously its because they dislike the idea of ~100 people watching using one person's pass. They aren't getting profit from the other 99 people.

If it were that obvious (edit: fixed typo), why do they only ban the Barcraft in Seoul, and leave all the other Barcrafts in the world alone? Please think again, it should be even more obvious that what you are proposing is NOT the case.

So they don't allow them to host barcrafts because it lowers view count? Do they really believe that the numbers on their screen have to represent amount of people watching?

Statistic mongers are so afraid of numbers going down it's hilarious.

Yes because comparing murder to something that not only doesn't hurt anyone, but isnt illegal is totally rational.

This might have been the worst comparison possible. Way to go. LOL!

Major sport associations charge BIG bucks to restaurants for the rights to show their events. This is an understandable business reaction, and in my opinion just means that eSports is getting bigger (in Korea anyway), and that's good (for some reason).

Were there barcrafts in Korea for BW?

It's like GOM doesnt want SC2 to grow in korea. Wtf. Need some official response on this imo.


It may not be their fault. You guys are forgetting that Anibox has exclusive broadcasting rights and there may be something in their contract with GOM that prevents this sort of thing. Maybe the OP needs to contact Anibox and see if there's anything they can do. It's not like GOM is trying to hurt SC2's growth in Korea. They obviously have a good reason for doing this.

Are you actually going to use that argument? God...some people... Last time i checked, murder was illegal, watching a stream with some friends isn't.

GOM is a garbage organization. But then again so is KeSPA.

These people are such power-mongers it's absolutely disgusting. They want total and utter control over EVERYTHING.

GOM probably think THEY are starcraft 2. Sure, world domination....

Believe it or not, I recently received an email from GOM TV asking me NOT to host Barcrafts anymore. I then asked for a refund on my 1 year pass, which I paid for if I'm not allowed to host them and they abliged.
Therefore I will no longer be PROMOTING Barcrafts. If you would like to informally gather and ask me to turn on the TV to your favourite programs under your account, I can accomodate that.

As for the reasoning behind GOM's email, I have NO Idea at all...


because technically, GOM wouldn't be making any money off of the broadcast you're airing, which is their property. its like showing a movie in a public place and turning a profit from it - technically illegal.

blizzard and other companies have been pretty cool with it because of hte exposure, but i wouldn't be surprised to see a few more companies follow suit.

Well, I'm glad I already canceled my GOM 1 year pass in protest of their corrupt ruling in the Naniwa fiasco at Blizzard Cup. I'm happy to hear that Yaletown didn't just take this lightly, and I hope more people cancel their subscriptions to show GOM they need to change their business practices.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'll say it again:

IT IS ILLEGAL FOR GOM TO BROADCAST GOMTV.NET GSL CAST IN KOREA

GOM doesnt want 100+ people in a room watching something that the average cost/person is less than $0.10

pretty lame on their part, but i understand from a business point of view

i really think they should look at barcrafts for their non-monetary value though. there are certainly a lot of qualitative aspects to business that cant be measured with $
