South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal

Posted by Zonk on from the i-like-the-crazy-future dept.

garnetlion writes "South Park is coming online, free and legal. My brief research has not indicated if it will use DRM, require some silly Windows-only software or be otherwise substandard. According to a Wired blog article, 'Parker and Stone said they were inspired to start the site when they got 'really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time. So we gave ourselves a legal alternative.'" In this regard South Park joins fellow Comedy Central notable The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, whose archive was made freely available online late last year.

    so the USA gets it for free while the other 96% of the globe still has to download it via alternative methods good to see GEOIP is being used to segment the globe just like TV the more things change the more they stay the same
