You can watch the Friday night baseball game on Apple TV for free if Judge hits a home run. New York Attorney General Letitia James called the steps to watch Apple's broadcast of the game after confusingly calling for it to be brought over to New York.
People pointed out that James is advocating for paid cable when Apple is streaming the game for free inside the Apple TV app or via a browser on most devices if you have an Apple ID.
James took a softer tone after nearly two hours.
It doesn't seem hard to meet those requirements when cell phones are ubiquitous and everyone is watching video on video sharing sites. There are some edge cases, and not every viewer has plugged their TV into the network, but the game should be seen by people on screens they have around them.
It doesn't seem like there are any burdens to be able to watch the game with free access. The Major League Baseball and Apple did not reply to requests from The Verge.
It won't be the last time policymakers are frustrated about where they can watch sports. As big tech companies like Apple and Amazon continue to invest more in sports broadcasting rights, it's going to be more difficult to figure out where to watch the next big game. We don't know where the lucrative NFL Sunday Ticket package will end up yet, but Apple is said to be a front runner.
