Exactly, I only took a few bucks from You. I don't think it will hurt you. So You should agree right? The owner of something shouldn't be able to decide who can access it or not right ?
I tend to think that live streaming by fans will not hurt the series or the company doing the streaming of the full races. I honestly think that it could help bring more people out to live events. And a platform like Youtube can make things blow up by just giving more people access to it. There are attractions like a ghost town that became popular from Instagram posts . They are making money because people come and post from their locations. I think that there could be a way that it can be done and be a benefit.
The thing is, that I could be 100% correct and it doesn't matter. Its up to whoever owns the streaming rights to decide what is good or bad for their product.
The crazy thing here is that the people that are mad about him being booted are mad that a media member was booted. But IF he is acting as media he was breaking the rules about livestreaming. I believe his best defense in this case was that he was NOT acting as media, just acting as a fan. Why should all the other media be restricted by the timeframes they can not publish video and Cooksey get a pass?? He was just livestreaming practice right? Not exposing some grand crime that the Coombs were committing. Not exposing some illegal activities.
He was breaking a rule that is in place to help the sport. It is in place to help the people who pay for the streaming and TV rights maximize that investment. And hopefully help keep them around and increase the value of those rights.
From jason Thomas , seems like he was in with fly vip tickets

I agree that the coverage helps keep people engaged. That timeframe may be by design. If You look up the rules for media credentials they follow a timeline. with more footage allowed as more time passes after the live event. I copied this from the media application on MXsports website for pro mot.

They we're also ball busting Slowie Films, and I don't think Slowie did anything wrong. He's a good dude in my opinion. I've hung out with him briefly on a couple of occasions.
Cookie or whatever his name is sucks. I don't think he should have been kicked out tho.
In both cases I think MX sports is trying to censor shit, and it's a pussy move on the part of MX sports in my opinion.

Sent to the dumbgeon to make MX sports happier I take it. That was a pussy move too.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the amount of Big Corporate cum-guzzling here, at the expense of the little guy, regardless of how well he's liked, but I am. People have been brainwashed. Cooksey hurts no one. Too small and insiignificant.
Stop. Question ML and you get clipped
I just laugh at that selfie POV camera angle, he looks like a fish who found himself out of the pond.
Oh go pound sand, I'm tired of Cooksey shit show threads on the forum. I sent here because I am over anything to do with that individual.
You said you were done after your last post, you proved my point, you can't help yourself.
Which further proves the point everyone is making. 😂
gonna keep ignoring the same voices saying the same things? Keep clipping me, I get it. It must be rough having this many voices calling you out. yet again the major story is NOT the wknd's races...but rather your handling of a thread that has to do with your arch-nemesis. You've made your bed.
"this many voices calling you out."
A lot less than the massive amount of downvotes you would get chasing me around the forum for the past year or so. Ben, you have some serious issues. One minute you try to play the victim and act nice, then turn a few minutes later. Please, sir, get on medication. I'm scared for those personally in your life.
Remember ML, Power begets Authoritarianism and Authoritarianism begets Revolt.
Try having someone come into your work place every day and take a steamy pile of shit on your desk, over...and over...and over. That's what Mr. Ben has been doing to me for over a year. I'm over it.
As for anything to do with Cooksey, again, the man has threatened harm upon me more than once. I'm over it. He's not a good person in my book.
I have been extremely lenient with the forum and moderation since I came back to Vital, extremely. I'm drawing the line on this one.
You sir are the only one who knows why you make your decisions, I agree with you in your take that you have been lenient with post’s and members. You have the right to clip or not clip anyone you choose. But I do believe you may be best served in allowing your moderators to do the dirty work and keep the focus off yourself. There is no winning in engaging, only the further deepening of the depravity.
I don't like the guy and his constant bitching, BUT if this really happened, we need an explaination from MX Sports !! Why the fuck would this end up in the Dungeon ? Moderator cradle DC's balls too?
Pit Row
Read through the topic, I listed MX Sports reason for removing him from the property. And it’s been moved to the dumbgeon because of who it’s associated with. He has a platform he can play woah is me on. We’re good here…
For real? Dude needs to just learn to take the L before people with much deeper pockets than him decide to bury him.
Then start your own moto site and run it as you see fit.
This place is owned by someone and they let you use it with certain rules.
Exactly. Everyone on this site who has ever posted in a Race Day thread knows we don't openly post links to live streams because it’ll get the attention of NBC’s bots and the stream will get pulled. Kooksey (illegally) live streams from the event to his Youtube page, gets the attention of NBC’s bots, and subsequently gets kicked out, and now everyone’s screaming oppression. There’s either some truly stupid people on this board, or some of these fucks have an unhealthy hatred of DC.
So JT gave him a pass 😂😂
It is easy to see how this individual got thrown out, he was looking to make a scene for viewership. It is not like he invented that tactic; he is motivated to make money by securing more views. Perhaps unethically, but he is motivated in a business sense. My confusion is this man is randomly going around threatening people with murder? This is factual? Why isn't he in jail?
Dude is RENT FREE in all your heads.
And JT gave them the passes. 😆
The fact that JT felt the need to apologize is very telling. The dude did nothing wrong.
That was my thoughts as well. As an outsider that gives no shits about the "insider clique" of moto... its crazy to see how much power the "clique" actually has.
I doubt JT had to be told to do anything. I'm sure he was mortified when he found out he had any connection to this. Guessing he gave his friend an earful.
But he wasn't there under media accreditation.
If Cookie threaten harm on you, then f him. Rewind technology 30 years and you could do something ruthless to him and get away with it. In today's world you can't get away with anything.
I have changed my mind since being presented with new information. If anything that says Cookedy pops-up and disappears I'm not going to bitch about it again.
If he threatened you, what did he do or say to other people too? Makes me wonder how much deeper his BS might go....
