But this time they're flying legit

Skype and Kazaa creators Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis are developing new software to aid in the distribution of television shows and other video over the web. The "Venice Project", unlike the original Kazaa, seeks to gain approval from content producers to avoid costly legal conflict, Business Week scoops. This is also the direction being taken by Bit Torrent's Bram Cohen, who has been snuggling up to the entertainment industry in an effort to better monetize his creation. Whether any of them can compete with cable (or piracy) is yet to be seen.

They all go for the cash. Money talks and idealism walks.

Re: Sooner or later

Well, One Good Thing I Guess Is Cheaper Pricing In Some Respects.

PPV Movies Go For $1.99 To $3.99 ... Which Is Cheaper Than Or Equal To The Cost Of Renting Videos In My Area. Why Get Off Your Bum When You Can Press A Button? (Well, I Guess That's Why There Is Obesity, heh heh)

Music Can Be Downloaded For $0.99/Song, Decent When Alot Of People Only Purchase A CD Release For A Song Or Two. Videos + Bandwidth Will Be An Issue. I Figure Since The Price Of Music Has Decreased, Videos May Take The Same Route (we can only hope).

I Forgot About The Extras ... One Thing I Like About The Extras Are The Alternate Endings (only a few do it or include them in DVDs).

Re: DRM

Ahh yes, but this DRM laden software would come with free spyware with it!
