As a solicitor though if i was GOMTV i'd b suing =P.

Must set an example. hahah. I'd b suing the bar owners! They got money and should know better.

The logic that barcraft's lose GOMTV money is incredibly short-sighted.

a) People aren't going to a Barcraft every time the GSL is streamed
b) The atmosphere of a Barcraft encourages more people to buy passes to watch the GSL
c) Barcraft increases interest in Starcraft 2 in general, which in turn increases the prospect for GOMTV acquiring new sponsors as the ROI on SC2 improves
d) Barcraft events help other events - a successful event for GOMTV in Korea could then help boost the prospects for a Barcraft watching, say, MLG, which could then increase viewer interest in the Koreans (and by extension, GSL)

sighsighsighsighsigh@GOM logic

The only plausible thing I've heard is that rebroadcasts of GOM are illegal in Korea, but that's unconfirmed.

I think Frogmite's picture warrants a repost

Barcrafts generally look at presenting the final - not the entire competition.
