    Come on. If the MPAA wasn't supposed to be a conspiritorial monopoly, then there would be laws against conspiracy and monopolies.

    I love slashdot. comparing this service to video.google.com or whatever...there should be a time-delay before posting is allowed.


    The first and obvious benefit of this service is that it lays a very solid groundwork for any future public defense of the bit torrent protocol. However, my initial happy world is crushed as I wonder what limits will be used to prevent us from basically hijacking cable programming to rebroadcast to the world free of charge?


    Quick, name the organization that is going to join the *IAA fight against piracy!
