Agon, Ltd./World Chess and FIDE Attempting to Restrict Live Tournament Commentating
They've lost in courts from the US to Europe to Russia trying to restrict live transmission of the moves of FIDE tournaments. Now they are trying to restrict commentating on the moves live by FIDE GMs and IMs by suspending them for "ethical" violation. Here is the text of the Aon, Ltd./World Chess proposal to FIDE.
I'll comment on this further shortly.
FIDE LIVE MOVES BROADCASTING POLICY
I'll comment on this further shortly.
World Chess
To: Members of the Working Group to Study the Proposal of Agon Limited on Protection of Live Chess
Moves
Dear Members of the Working Group,
First of all, I would like to thank Mr Strydom, Mr Rivello
and Ms Sperdokli for their valuable comments to the Agon Limited proposal
presented at the last Presidential Board meeting in March, 2017. All of them
were taken into consideration when developing the wording of the draft FIDE
Live Moves Broadcasting Policy (“Draft Policy”) attached to this letter.
The Draft Policy recognizes the right of the World Chess
Federation to control the live dissemination of the FIDE events’ moves.
Furthermore, it provides for the measures to be taken against persons
interfering with this right.
Pursuant to the Policy there are two types of violators –
Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 includes the members of FIDE family, whereas Type 2
covers organizations and individuals, who are not part of the FIDE family.
The measures to be taken against Type 1 violators are
already previewed in the Code of Ethics – the Draft Policy merely introduces
the new rule that members of FIDE family shall comply with.
As for the Type 2 violators, the Policy provides for
indirect measures. Those persons are subject to inclusion to special FIDE list
(“Blacklist”) and members of FIDE family are prohibited from cooperating with
the blacklisted persons. Thus, the measures have an indirect effect – the
prohibition is obligatory for members of FIDE family, and its violation shall
be treated as the breach of FIDE Code of Ethics by the member of FIDE
family.
This method of restrictions on cooperation is similar to
the EU or US sanctions, even thought the scope of the prohibition and its
objectives are quite different from the political sanctions.
The main idea behind this prohibition is that chess
community shall make an effort to ban freeriders from using the infrastructure
provided by it. Individuals and organizations that do not respect the efforts
of the chess events organizers and federations and continue to profit on live
chess moves information without contributing to the staging of the events
reduce the value of chess as professional sport and, thus, hinder its
development and popularization.
The prohibition will serve as a measure aimed at:
•
making it possible for FIDE and FIDE events
organizers to use on exclusive basis or sell the rights to live move-by-move
broadcasting, thus providing an additional stream of revenue for FIDE events;
•
stopping the practice of organization of
unauthorized live move-by-move broadcasts by the third parties that only
free-ride on the efforts of FIDE and organizers of its events, without
contributing to the events themselves;
•
will prevent chess players and other chess
professionals from participating in these reprehensible practices.
Further, I would like to address the issues raised by Mr
Strydom and Mr Rivello in their comments to the initial proposal.[1]
Who will be the "proprietor" of
the broadcasting rights in the event of a tournament being held under the
auspices of a federation or if the tournament is privately staged?
FIDE will be the “proprietor” of the broadcasting rights.
The players will transfer this rights under the contracts for participation
together with other commercial rights. The said rights will form a part of the
TV and Internet broadcasting rights that are usually assigned to the organizer
of the FIDE event in order to make it possible for the organizer to
commercialize the event.
The FIDE Code of Ethics cannot be enforced
against the members of general public that cannot somehow be brought into the
notion of the "FIDE family".
This is a very valuable point that was brought up by Mr
Strydom. As it was mentioned earlier, the Draft Policy is only enforceable
against the members of the FIDE family. Nevertheless, it effectively excludes
the non-FIDE-family violators from the cooperation with the FIDE family chess
community. I believe that this resolves the issue of freedom of commercial
association and pursuit of commercial activity as well as the restrictions only
apply to the members of FIDE family.
Finally, there are still several questions that need to be
addressed once the wording of the Policy is finalized.
The first one being the possibility of implementation of
similar policies on the national federation level and their recognition and
enforcement by FIDE. I see the development of Model Broadcasting Policy for
national federations as a perfect tool to address this.
The second question is the temporary application of the
Broadcasting Policy for the period after its approval by the working group and
the Presidential Board/the Executive Board and its approval by the General
Assembly. The point here is that at least FIDE can apply the prohibition on
cooperation for this period, providing the idea to all the interested parties
on how the Policy should work. However, in such case it is still to be decided
which FIDE body or commission will take responsibility for updating the list of
violators and who will have the final decision when it comes to establishing
the fact of violation during this temporary period.
I am looking forward to receiving your comments and
suggestions on both this letter and attached Draft Policy. Thank you for your
consideration on this matter!
Sincerely,
Matvey

FIDE Troglodytes Are At It Again--Boycott Underway
"Fide, the World Chess Federation, has been accused of "total moral degredation" after awarding this year's $2 million world speed chess championship to Saudi Arabia.
A raft of top players have now revealed they will boycott the blitz and rapid event, one of the most exciting in the chess calendar, over concerns about safety and human rights in the ultra-conservative regime.

Among the big names who won't be there are double women's world champion Anna Muzychuk and the American super grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura, a renowned specialist at playing in short time controls."
