Hello All. This is a new thread to discuss the pros & cons using a private way to live stream for free with reproductions protected to the public, or stream wide open to a public streaming service such as YouTube, Ustream, or Facebook Live keeping the reproductions available there as well.
As many of you may know I advocate for reproduction privacy with billiard videos for 7 years now. I have developed, from scratch, a custom delivery service in a manner to still continue to provide a live broadcast 100% for free to the public, but then charge a very small monthly maintenance fee to replay the reproductions. The reproductions are then stored and counted towards a customers website (in this case live.onepocket.org) when replayed. The reproductions are also attached to a player's account, by which when a player is logged in, they have 100% free lifetime access to that video to be played. The reproductions then cannot be stolen or copied and redistributed without permission. (of course we can't stop screen capturing). But the delivery service makes it much more difficult to instantly download a video in a matter of seconds forcing a screen capture to steal the material (more of a deterrent).
There is a plethora of discussion on this matter. However, the main reason of this thread is not to give up the fight to protect the material so it may be worth value in the future to the players in the videos and for the creators who create them, whereas the alternative would be next to nil. A complete sell out of reproductions for exposure that are also subjected to predatory terms of service by the aforementioned services, is what I have advocated against for a long time.
I would love to hear everyone's input on this subject and if it would still be encouraged by the 1p.org crew when live streaming and on-demand services are solicited for future members events.
Just so everyone is aware, the delivery service I've created doesn't mean that MYSELF has to be used to provide the live streaming services. I don't want it to be construed that since I'm providing the delivery service, that you must use a certain live streamer. That is not the intention of my project. The project is open to all, and it is also a free service to all, provided those who use it adhere to the strict standard of protecting the reproduction, and so that the project can receive a portion of revenue from the reproduction to sustain its existence. Monies then above and beyond that are generated are distributed to the creators AND THE PLAYERS of the material.
Thanks in advance for the input from all of you.. I hope this feedback will help advance the On Site Pool Network project and gain the respect from the playing body of the sport.
