Regarding tournament rules: I have a dream!--

I understand the idea of people watching paying for streaming, but one of the reasons for streaming is to expose the game to more of the world...to make the game more popular and let the entire world know more about what a skill-based game and what a fun and exciting game this is. Charging watchers will prevent this from happening.
The players do benefit from streaming, in the long run. The more people who watch and the more popular the game is, the more support there will be for tournaments, for sponsors to get involved, and more people playing.
Maybe there is a compromise:
Maybe those who get to watch the live stream must pay for a password or must have supported the game by joining their association, and then the matches can go on YouTube for all to see.
