    If the videos are in Linux friendly and non-DRM'd-to-hell format I will be a customer. Can anyone find some solid facts on the details?

      Of course, but here, you could legally get them 6 monthes later with 20yo VCR quality, FBI warning and ad breaks for only 29$99. And you could read it exactly once, but you can keep the anti-copy package forever if you want.

    ...have a bittorrent link to bittorrent.com, the site seems to be slashdotted.

    Will they have "Happy Days?" Because I'd love to buy that episode where Fonzie jumps over a shark on waterskis from Bittorrent.
