But there has been no forward thinking, this in no way even strives to solve the problem of online sharing on illegal P2P sites. Sure you can view the videos but you can't really share them .. which is ultimately what we as viewers. Check these guys out: www.catchuptvonline.com Not only is this site free and legal, but advertisers are also benefiting from it - so both parties win! This technology allows viewers to watch the shows on their own computers when they feel like it and without having to pay. So I'd say rather go legal and convenient instead!

Wah wah for you. Not to mention, most startups lack all knowledge of the severe rights issues as they relate to Hollywood created content. Hiro - NBC Direct and BBC's iPlayer seem a-okay as is. Tough market isn't it? As content continues to saturate channels, the need for DRM will ultimately diminish.

BUT HOW COME THE PRESS NEVER COVERS CONTET SITES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTING THIS DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY WITH VIDEO FOR YEARS. HTTP://ABSTRACT10.COM , WE HAVE BEEN PLACING ORIGINAL CONTENT INTO ONLINE DISTRIBUTION FOR YEARS, BUT NOW CBS DOES IT AND ITS LIKE , WOW!!!! CBS WILL STILL FALL SHORT IN THE ONLINE DISTRIBUTION CATEGORY BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THE BALLS TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR CONTENT OVER UNDERGROUND P2P NETWORKS. IN ORDER TO GAIN A FULL ONLINE DISTRIBUTION PRESENCE, CBS WILL HAVE TO ACQUIRE A CONTENT COMPANY THAT HAS CONTENT AND A COMPLETE ONLINE DISTRIBUTION MODEL. UNTIL THEN THEY WILL JUST GET LOST IN THE MILLIONS OF VIDEO FILES ALREADY FILLING ONLINE PIPELINES. OK, GREAT STRATEGY!

Instead of trying to aquire the content sites of Youtube, Joost, Bebo, etc. They simply partner with the sites and become a central location for all of the videos on those sites. Eventually viewers will choose the central location to find a particular video. Look at Plaxo and how other companies have been built on just becoming a centralized source of various sites.

NBC may have the worst strategy, keeping there content in places where they have the most control. I'll admit that I've watched my fair share of video on Hulu but I'm not sure if the average joe wants to air infring of his computer for 45 minutes to watch the finale of the Office in terrible quality. People want high quality video wherever they want it, not where the content providers tell them they are allowed to have it.
