While I'm in the uproar camp, I'm not sure why more people aren't getting the MLB.TV streams.
$10 for the entire playoffs isn't the worst deal in the world, and beats the hell out of the quality you'd get from Justin.TV or any other illegal streams.
You don't get all the graphics or replays, but you do get the whole game, legally, from the comfort of your livingroom.
Ultimately you showed people that the best way to do it was to pony up $9. Seems like you just found a workaround, and didn't really break a law. Bend, maybe. Break, notsomuch.
