The matches were recorded over three months ago. One quarter of a year. Part of the deal with the sponsors was releasing the matches on YouTube as they will get far more exposure there over the long term than during the live stream.
There certainly has to be some protection of the PPV content. If it were uploaded the week after for free I could certainly see people feeling like they could of waited. Three months seems a fair amount of time to me to balance between protecting the PPV buyers and giving value to the sponsors. If you wait six months or a year people have forgotten all about the event.
Nothing ever satisfies everyone but in this case it was what we thought would work best all around.
Three months is reasonable to me .
Maybe a download for a fee a week or two after would be feasible for CSI someday.
Thanks again.
