"claiming that the rule allows it to keep airing their games on free TV"

Last time I checked, the TV stations have to pay a hefty fee in order to have the privilege of broadcast sporting events.

This whole thing smacks of "I need more money".

Cry some more.

It's competitive gaming, and nothing more. Gaming is not a sport.

'nuff said.

Google has implemented content id on twitch. The damage is already being done. I suspect twitch will become irrelevant as gamers find a new place to stream/upload their videos.

Tell that to the hookers that keep posting in my citys CL.

That's an understatement. They're trying to charge the guy with "Continuing Criminal Enterprise", a charge reserved for gangsters who continue to run their gang from inside prison. How did Ulbricht keep making changes to Silk Road after being imprisoned? It's rather hard to do something electronic when you have no access to electronics because you're in jail.

I don't have time to read all that. It all reads like marketing hogwash anyways.

Honestly, if they want the CPU power, why can't they just buy their own computing cluster, instead of wearing out our computers and clogging the internet with all the data it sends back and forth?

De-plus youtube while you're at it... Fuck that noise.

Folding and seti are equally as wasteful. Have either ever generated anything useful?

When was the last time that iD has made a game that was relevant? The last one that comes to mind is RTCW: Enemy Territory.

They all did... except only Bell and Cogeco got nailed for it... I still maintain that Cogeco still does it, but I don't have the money to sue.
