Submission + - SingularDTV: using Ethereum for DRM on a sci-fi TV show about the Singularity (rocknerd.co.uk)

I'm sure that if you read the fine print on the agreements for most (if not all) set top box services like TiVo, Hulu, Netflix, your cable agreements, you'll find that they grant permission to collect viewing data and resell it. It's pure gold to ratings organizations or anyone else wanting to prove how many people are watching one thing or another.
