I subscribe to MLB at Bat and NHL Gamecenter Live because watching on my devices is my preferred method of consumption. I don't feel bad about using a VPN to circumvent the blackouts - they take my money either way, and how I configure my network should be of no consequence to them
It's going to get trickier if they start requiring mobile devices to have their GPS enabled to do location determination - I think I actually had to disable location services for the NHL Gamecenter app on my iPad, because it knew where I was regardless of the VPN endpoint I was connected to. I'm not sure if I'd resign myself to simply listening on the radio.
Overall I'm pleasantly surprised with the overall direction of this thread - I didn't want to come across as a moral crusader or do-gooder, which nobody has accused me of (yet
) and its awesome to see I'm not all alone in working through these issues/decisions.
