2004 US Open matches on BCN still free?

[Celtic]

BCN working for any of you? It was working great for me during most of the free 2004 showings but since they changed the setup to the new format I get a message saying "You do not meet the requirements to play this file" when I click on the file and hit "play preview". There are two pages of files here

http://billiardclub.portals.streamos.com/cc/channel.php?channelid=427&start=0&limit=6

but clicking on them does nothing. I did read

Once you login, choose US Open 2005 on the left and the play button located below. In the meantime, enjoy the matches from the 2004 US Open by clicking the US Open 2004 link on the left after you have purchased access.

from the top. I thought we were getting the stuff from 2004 for free before the big event? Now I am not sure if we got the free access removed and have to pay for this years event to see the rest of the old matches, or if I now cannot access matches anymore at all due to the changed format and might as well not order this years event which I had planned on doing...

I was watching them yesterday. Managed to watch around half of the videos and now I cant get to them either. I guess BCn is making people pay for the 2005 in order to watch the 2004 matches for free. Still, i managed to save one link for one of the matches:

Corey Deuel vs Efren Reyes!

I tried getting the other links by using the same format as that link but I havent gotten it to work yet.

EDIT:
Went through my history list and worked up a few more links:

We have had over 20,000 views of the free 2004 matches since they were available a couple of weeks ago. As a result, we have already exceeded the bandwidth for this event.

Therefore, in order to watch any and all matches, you must be registered and paying customer for this event for this event.

We would like to make all programs free all the time, but that's just not feasible righ tow.

Thanks for watching.
