That's subjective. Regardless, I think most people would agree that it was one of, if not the biggest download events in the internets short history. I don't think I've ever heard of any other software/demo/game etc being released that nearly caused the internet to collapse (not literally)

Yeah well, we thought that also

#2.2 shanepitman on 17 Jun 2006 - 14:57

Yeah we liked the other name too until we got a nasty letter from a company that makes some streaming media equipment called, oddly enough, Neocast. Everyone loves to play the "we'll sue" card. *sigh*

So you guys know, we recorded this on the 13th, so information like the Adobe response to the PDF/MS office thing were not yet released.

#4.1 shanepitman on 17 Jun 2006 - 20:35

Yes indeed. I apologize to everyone for not getting this out earlier in the week. We had a few post recording issues to overcome, but I think we got everything worked out pretty well. We should be good to go for next weeks show, and we al thank you for your interest and support.

and my point completely counter argues that. It's the same thing as taping the game and watching it out of town later on. You are still paying for the access to the channel and should be able to watch it wherever you want. There's no ground for the MLB to stand on. No one else is broadcasting it out of their designated area. Simply put, someone paying for access to those broadcasts is watching the game elsewhere, without circumventing the ads and without sharing it illegally with others.
