It's about time (Score 1)

It's about time that network television realize that their distribution method is archaic and self-defeating. For years now they have had the capability and capacity to restructure their broadcast distribution model, and have instead resorted to lawsuits, DRM, and lobbying to protect their ancient distro monopolies. Finally it seems that with the proliferation of technologies such as BitTorrent (among others) somebody was smart enough to realize that they could adapt their model to emerging technologies and profit from it. I hope that what this means is that end users will finally get the conrtol over their television content, that internet users have over theirs. The technology has long been here, but the big broadcasters have been too lazy and scared to try and do anything but protect their asses in an old, conventional profit structure.
