EPTWatching the GSL tonight, artosis and tasteless practically begged people not to restream GSL. Just wondering where TL is landing on this. Will the restreams be taken down or are you only going to do that if theres some kind of official legal request?

I'd be much more sympathetic if they weren't actively trying to kill proleague. | ||

If GOM has load balancing issues and actually wants to improve their service until they do so it shouldn't be a problem for them to let people re-stream until its fixed. Otherwise they are just sending a very specific message. "We don't care about you if you are not paying", which is totally fine from a business point but not in the best interest of the e-sport scene. | ||

in order to kinda "support" gomtv I ended up leaving the LQ-stream in the gom-player open while watching the lag-free re-stream....but that obviously can't be any solution to anything | ||

Sometimes there aren't other options with their servers getting so flooded with people trying to watch. Thankfully my stream on the Gom player was able to stay alive the whole time. I think before even going on the thought of banning the re-streamers as a community we should go towards Gom to say that their servers are unable to handle the mass amounts. Yes, they don't get the viewer hit count from their site, but all the sponsor relay and messages do get heard. Not to be a dick but there are other options... paying for it or not watching it. Just because something is on the internet does not mean you're entitled to have it for free. | ||

I can understand teamliquid not wanting to get involved but don't think for a second that it will stop people from doing it. Obviously TL doesn't have the power to stop restreams. However if they didn't show them on the right sidebar and banned the restreamers it would do a lot to help. If they came out and said "listen guys, let's stand with GOM and not support restreamers" a lot of people would listen. | ||

Also it's not as if they are totally unaware of the number of ppl watching it through streams here. Since it's 100% sure that they do know this, I think it should be very clear to them that their own stream obviously sucks compared to other free streaming services -_- Their arguments seem rather weak to me. | ||
