Overseas region lock

For a period of two months starting on October 13, overseas viewers were denied live viewing due to a region lock.[2] The league used copyrighted music, which prevented overseas broadcasting. In the interim, Abema provided VoD within a 24 hour period from a live cast for sections without the copyrighted music. Eventually, the situation was rectified, and live overseas broadcasting resumed on December 12.[3]
