Of course, pay-per-view events aren't new, but pay-per-listen sports broadcasting
Isn't a sports broadcast an event? And isn't listening to a broadcast the equivilient of viewing a ppv event?
These are the same thing. This is PPV baseball. The only difference is that it's already free by radio and tv. That may make this a doomed business plan, but it's not "criminal".
IMO, some of us need to calm down. No one is trying to commandeer technology or control from us here. When you react this way, as if someone is doing something wrong or evil whenever they peddle IP in any form, isn't going to win anybody over to your side.
