I think this move is quite brilliant actually. They are going to make a rival to broadcast TV with this move. Copyright issues, I don't think so. The media companies will be paying THEM to host their content. This is going to be the TV of the future with targetted ads for "On Demand" content.
Im a recent college grad and I started off as a PERL programmer doing stuff in UNIX and Windows. Now I am learning how to allocate data sets and various other things on MVS. It is pretty fun actually and a whole new world, it is so different than UNIX and Windows, but fun nonetheless. I am learning from the old fogeys, and they seem rather eager to teach me, im their "protege". I think that the mainframe is here to stay. I have been working with websphere on the mainframe and it's a pretty neat product it's a webserver that can run on the mainframe ( think scalability ).
Why not make a video game in the same way firefox was created? An open source project where everyone can contribute in a similar fashion. This would most definitely create an awesome video game, just like mozilla finally created an awesome browser.
echo, over and out

I, for one, welcome our new mice overlords.
