  • Google Sees Bright Future For Television  [View article]
    Why do you ignore P2P?

    Is it denial?

    MP3 on P2P networks have closed a large percentage of music stores in my town. I honestly do not know of a single music only retailer still open, but there might be one somewhere (the flea market?).

    The most popular site for BitTorrent piracy recently announced their 4 Billionth download in only 3 years. Most of those were premium movies and TV.

    can I get it in HD?
    Can I watch it on a large screen?
    Can I easily watch it on my computer with someone else?
    Can I TiVo it?
    Can the Internet scale like TV?

    Actually the answer to every one of those is YES, just not YET for internet solutions the MPAA aproves of. If consumers can steal their products more easily than buy them they are in trouble. It has the same feeling as the early days of Napster.

    The internet may not replace TV, but Digital Multicast OTA and the internet might replace Cable for TV service, while WiMax and Fios replace them as an ISP.
