Shaw 714 video link (low quality) here:

Guinness? Don't you know that it doesn't mean anything until it's in the Smithsonian?

Send the table to the Smithsonian

It could also be entered into the record books "the most pointlessly argued about table pockets in human history".

He was paid 100k. It was on the live video. It slipped out.

It's triple backed up and I think we will have a very nice run to offer to those interested in an unedited high run.

At a price?

And the first copy of the unedited original version you sell, will be posted up on YouTube within an hour so everyone can watch for free, and the person who posted it can earn money, not having to give a dime to Shaw.

No one wants to pay for anything today, because they feel everything to do with pool should be free, told you

 

[realkingcobra]

I doubt that will happen — don’t you think it’d be nice if Jayson made a little extra dough on his run?

And as far as I know we have the video triple-backed up, so it happened.

I give it a week and this video of Jayson's 714 run will be all over YouTube for free viewing, and those who posted it will be getting paid for the viewer clicks, but not Jayson

Maybe, but I doubt it will happen quickly.

Viewer clicks can pay well for significant numbers of clicks, but i don't think those numbers occur for anything in pool except trick shots. (Except Chris Melling's famous runout. Last I looked that was over 20 million views. )

But if you go through Youtube you're hard pressed to find any significant viewership for pool. Mosconi Cup finals etc., are all pretty weak. Schmidt's 400+ runs are also pretty weak.

Someone who posts the video to Youtube is likely just an interested player and not looking for click money.


I went through this myself years ago, trying to copy-protect some video resources. Impossible to do, and I got that advice pretty quick.

What does work is
a. lots of lawyers and automated web scanning. But that's expensive and only likely for something with huge resources behind and lots of future value.
b. keep costs under control. If the costs are $9.99, it's not likely anyone will bother to make a real effort to make fake copies. If the costs are $99.99, then they might.
c. added value for a 'legit' copy, so people will want the genuine article. So if you buy the DVD you get a signed poster or something.

I wonder though, if Jayson and Bobby will find after investigation, that they get the same advice that John Schmidt got.
