Instead of bitching about the problems, how about naming some solutions? What part will distributed peer to peer apps like the deceased Scour play a part in this? What apps are available today for this?

Why couldn't I attend an event (rowing!) and use my digital camera with 6 GB of disk do make mpegs of the event to slap on the distributed web. With no single point of distribution, have they proven that they can stop you? Imagine, no commentary from idiot commentators!... just a dedicated fan... one who knows the sport and can give the best commentary.

As someone who owns a television, but uses it only for movies, not broadcasts, keeping the olympics off of the net really hurts. I've opted to use the Real player for broadcast news, and I read many news sites. How many other people are doing this?

I have the broadcast rights to the revolution. The revolution will NOT be televised. -J
