Koreanska laget SK Telecom T1, som tävlar i League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) har postat en kommentar gällande Youtube VOD-nedtagningar på Twitter och kastar därmed lite ljus på allt som hänt:

"We would like to talk about the recent YouTube VOD takedown incident," the statement reads. "We, SKT, have been finding ways to enhance the welfare of our players. Through many years of practice, we felt confident that we can generate additional revenue for our players through personal streaming and VOD management. As a result, as you all know, SKT started live streaming with Twitch. Furthermore, we are also preparing our own 'SKT T1 YouTube Channel', which will be filled with SKT related various contents.

While operating such streaming and VOD business, we faced some critical issues. Fans were left confused between official SKT stream channel and third-party streamers, causing the split in viewership and ultimately damaging our player income. Also, content creators were creating VODs with inappropriate advertisements on soloQ plays, leveraging SKT player contents to earn profits.

While addressing this situation, we would like to apologise for our initial approach without fully understanding the copyrights of LoL contents and rushed takedowns of VODs [and] that we have not communicated with the legitimate IP holders of the contents, Riot Games. In the future we will carefully review the VODs that may cause serious brand or monetary loss to SKT and its players, and request for takedown only through Riot Games. Riot Games will also provide support by setting a firm guideline for which VODs will be screened or not. After such guideline is set, we will make sure to revive those VODs that do not fall in the criteria of the new guideline."

Detta kommer från ett email SKT skickat till Reddit-användaren Catfish_BILLY. Vad är din åsikt om denna affär?
