Unfortunately for Justin.tv, those 'approved partners' is also likely the key players where the money is for live events (Olympics, sporting events, etc.).

Starcraft/WoW matches and such will only be so popular.

Any popular legit streamer on Justin.tv could easily become a partner. They will also likely open it up more at some point.

that's the same language they used for when they started allowing longer video lengths, and I started seeing much longer minecraft videos that day, so it seems like this won't be limited to just big corporate accounts.
