TV Piracy is Next

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-always-miss-episode-one dept.

Blackfire writes "Why is a TV executive so agitated about online pirates? Because he, like most media honchos, has seen the scary numbers indicating that the next big craze in illegal file-sharing is not music, not movies, but television." Frankly I'm amazed that movies caught on before TV since there's so much more TV, and they tend to be smaller files than movies.

    When someone tries to charge something like $700 for some plastic material with IP produced in 87-94.. i think that's close to robbery.

    "intellectual property" is always robbery - never forget.
