Did you people know about this?

I thought it was unusually difficult to find day-to-day results, that explains it...
Kramnik joins the battle too (to be known that worldchess.com is property of Agon, as stated in the Guardian article):

The first two comments in the second article seem sensible to me, especially points 1), 2) and 3) in the second comment.
I too get the thing about "TV" rights, but it's really one of the beauties of chess to have so many people discuss and share their views on the games live or shortly thereafter.
Something I'm not sure about, based on this: are youtubers doing something illegal? (at first glance, the answer does seem to be "yes").
And is this going to be the norm? Which would be a bit of a shame, although I do recognise organisers need to have a source of income out of this.
