    Someone, make a .torrent of that 186 meg .mpeg file. It won't last long!

  2. Is the the slasdot version of text ads? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Insightful

    It seems more like a product advertisement than anything else. May be this is an ad disguised as a story?

    ... on the Internet.

    Where *are* all the wonderful 'independent' movies and documentaries and such on the Internet these days? Back in the early 90's, we predicted there'd be simply scads of new and entertaining film content available on the 'net for perusal, but it seems like its either 'movieflix' or sites like silversow.com and demandmedia.net, none of which truly satisfies my urge to surf/download and watch good quality film media I got from the Internet.

    And no, before you comment, I don't want to know where to go to find pr0n or filez, I want to know where the actual artists and authors and writers who stand to *benefit* from open, broad dissemination of their works are putting it for download by people ... like me ... who don't have TV but sure have bandwidth.

    SeattleWireless TV goes in the bookmarks. I wish there were tons more interesting sites like this to keep my mpeg-player eye focused on, anyway ...

  4. Awesome post by prestidigital · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some Slashdotters are just too damn cynical and conspiracy-minded. I did not think for a second that this was posted just to be an advertisement. It is only an advertisement in as much as it shows how cool the project is. I thought of it like PBS or NPR. More importantly, the post is not about Seattle Wireless TV. It's about what they are reporting. I think the reports are excellent. I learned things I didn't know. (And it was a nice change from reading/scrolling lengthy articles.)

    Thats a good point.

    Maybe people just dont want to watch amateur home movies.

    Unless they're porn.
