I don't quite understand the blackout rules.. i thought they were intended to put people in the seats at the stadiums, i.e. earn the teams more money..
However, if you purchase a service, i.e. MLB.tv, for the specific purpose of watching baseball, the teams get money anyway.. yet they black out games that you've paid for!?
As a non-US resident, I don't get many blackouts, but the blackouts I get are the games that are on "National TV" (i.e. ESPN). Why? I don't have ESPN and I can't go to the games (unless I hop on a flight and travel 3000 miles).
Out of curiousity, if one were to live in the Atlanta metro area, would it be impossible to watch Braves-games on TV? Would they all be blacked out?
