Re: Ethics of Releasing Sensitive Information - ZJ related.
I think we should see Poker as a Sport in these days. The arguments that in Doyles time ZJ would be on the bottom of a lake or missing his thumbs etc. just pulls it back to the niche Poker was back then.
For all Pokerplayers it is very profitable that Poker has become accepted in the society as "sport", like chess. Pls don't discuss the word sport, as you can call it a game of skill if you want.
If we want to hold on that, we should punish the cheaters the same way they are punished in sports.
What is done with a sportsman that uses doping?
The federation will tell the public the names, the medicamentation they used and will ban them for a certain amount of time.
I think we should relate to PP and PS as federations in this case. Ok, there is no other federation in the world that takes that high rakes but ...
What i want to say, is that they should not be seen as companies that must in first line protect the privacy of sportsmen, but as federation, that must protect the sport.
I hope everybody learns from their mistakes and would recommend a two years ban. After that everybody deserves a new chance.
