I live in London and attended several Olympic and Paralympic events. They were hardly 'ruined' for me.

I saw hundreds of thousands of people having a good time, cheering on teams and interacting with visitors from other countries.

Likewise. I went to tw Olympic events, and watched the athletes. Both were excellent. I don't think I gave branding or copyrights a second thought.

Greed killed the Olympics. The downfall began in Los Angeles 1984.

This article ruined the Olympics for me, at least until they get their act together. I had heard a lot about the points made while the games were going on, but it didn't feel like swallowing the pill I just swallowed.

Obviously some major problems with copyrights in the Olympics but "ruined"? Come on...

That is all.
