    That's just how it works.
    Is that really how it works though? Or is that immediately assumed because of the situation?

    If that were the case, then why is Youtube buying Twitch and not Google? That's ultimately what I wonder and what I want answered with this thread.

      ...Yes, yes it does.

      We are not saying that Youtube and Google are synonymous at all.

      Let's use an example, an example of say, empires.

      Let's say Empire A takes over Empire B. Everything owned by B is now owned by A. Doesn't matter if it was bought/obtained before or after the taking over, it's still owned by A.

                    Just because you claim it's a gay or shit thread doesn't make the issue disappear. This is a pretty real and serious issue imho because of the trend that seems to be happening lately regarding attacks against Net Neutrality and the monopolizing of markets: AT & T to buy Direct TV and offer "enhanced" broadband services, Comcast merging with Time Warner, and now this. Anyone who follows news on the state of the Internet should look into this seriously because it also effects the availability of services this site has to offer. If this trend continues and this becomes the norm, then the structure and mindset of Internet use will be completely different in a decade from the way it is now; and for the worse, I'm afraid.

                      "Sorry this stream is unavailable in your country."

                      "To comment on this stream you must link your Twitch account to your Google+ account"

                      I can see it now

                      "You cannot exceed more than 30 minutes of gameplay due to copyright restrictions"

                      "No copyrighted music is to be played while streaming"

                      They will get rid of turbo and subscriptions, put a block on 'donations' basically anything that takes money away from them. More likely streamers will be forced to play more ads.

                          Who cares... let them buy twitch, it already became shit when they "upgraded" it. If they change it let them, they are the ones buying it.

                              Hey, if the owner(s) of twitch are retarded enough to sell it out then maybe it should be changed, Sure its 1billion dollars but still, twitch was once very successful and they should have just kept it that way. Their faults

                                Yeah, not really.

                                Think of it like this, if it were possible to buy a person, just because you buy them that doesnt mean you own everything they own. Its still their stuff even if you owned them. If they buy something it doesnt automatically become yours.
