Is screen sharing boxing?

[Wabic]

Thanks everyone for all the discussion. AFAIK it's currently legit. As others have pointed out, Sirken wouldn't be able to stream if it wasn't. I think Sirken's stream that Oleris mentioned was the first I'd heard about it.

On one hand, I think you're "playing" a very significant part of another character by remotely connecting to another computer, viewing their output and using it to make decisions. That involves two boxes and two accounts.

On the other hand, it's been compared to SMS, voice chat and all the other "not classic" communication methods we use that are not banned. So, it's valid to describe it not as "playing" that other character but simply communicating with them.

So, I'm still somewhat on the fence with how I feel about it, but leaning toward the latter.
