if i was the nppl bosses i would laugh at pbnation when they ring up to moan about not allowing filming this 1 event by dvd companys. what has it got to do with them. shaun explaining it earlier over and over. he aughto of just said 'who are pbnation?? why should i care what they think about me and the nppl' ... or something 
They don't, but they have an affiliation with MWAG and sell their gear in the PbNation store, so they're siding with their buddies.
almost the same sh*t is already happening in the Millennium. Some mediapartners are locked out from the CPL/SPL .. ENTIRE SEASON, and just not the finals but the whole thing! So I understand MWAG but since its just for the Boston event I hope FOX makes it a good one
The way the nation have behaved is perfectly in line with its usual demographic poster.
A big mistake that will do a lot of harm to the impartial credibility of the forum.
A typical case of a big fish in a small pond believing in his own self importance.
We do have two English word's that describes him perfectly - stupid twat.

This is a good point:
The footage is supposedly going to be shown on prime time TV!...hopefully this is a mahoosive step in the right direction.

Actually, it'll be broadcast at 4:30 PM. Prime-time in the US is 8 PM to 11 PM.
I think there area couple interesting things here.
One, if paintball is going to be on TV, part of that is only the television production company gets to film. That's just the way it is.
But, it does not look like that's the case here. Here, it looks like NPPL is doing the same thing that's been done before: Paying Fox to air their program. When you pay to air your program, there usually isn't a requirement that what you produce be exclusive (beyond not putting it on another network). And, NPPL is broadcasting the center court field live on the internet, so there obviously can't be an exclusive filming/broadcast deal in place. If there was, NPPL wouldn't be broadcasting live on the internet either.
But, if the film companies were offered reimbursements, I really don't see what there is to complain about here. Too many people in paintball think they are 'entitled' to be in business. You're not. If the leagues don't want you to film there events, then you either need to find a way to make them believe it is in their best interest to let you film, or you need to accept that you just can't be in the business that you want to be in.
It's also a dangerous precedent when one company starts taking actions because their friends in another company are upset about something.
