The guarantee for streams to not be replayed is limited. Many legal teams cannot approach that. It's as simple as that.

I'd, personally, rather AusOG get the awesome presentations rather than the redacted ones.. YMMV.

Cheers,

They cover almost half the cost and in return they get the right to promote themselves to all of you who attend.
