Apparently Major League Baseball believes that it is not actually a baseball-playing organization but actually a law-making organization. Because they have taken the position that if you legitimately pay to receive the video feed of baseball games, but want to access that video while you're not actually in your house, it must be illegal to do so.

Slingbox is an innovative piece of technology allowing consumers to space-shift their TV content, but according to this piece at Ars Technica, MLB wishes it would just go away. Their general counsel, Michael Mellis, was quoted saying, "There's no guarantee that Slingbox will be around next year. It's a startup." Sorry, Michael, but whether Slingbox survives or not, innovative technology is going to continue to be around. It's best to figure out how to work with innovation, rather than simply hoping it will go away, or when that fails, suing it into oblivion.
