I agree, -the only way any form of tv over the internet or radio over internet is gonna fly in the long run is with advertising revenue. And let's face it, the only "musician" in isohunts zeitgeist is Lady Gaga and the rest is tv and movies. All that would simply go away if there was some free, convenient method of streaming it -so, adverts -demographically and geograohically targeted ofcourse.

and realize that most people don't take the content because they're horrible thieves that want free stuff. Getting in your car to drive to Blockbuster is a hassle. Installing random video programs just so that you can allow DRM on your computer in order to watch a 2-hour movie(tends to take longer than you think it will) is a hassle.

What we need is a way to convince the torrent sites and the content producers to work together. Maybe put tags in the torrents that tell a video program that it's found a good place to put a commercial, and make the tags give info about the type of program and how far into the show it is.

This stuff is 100% about corporate greed, so let them satisfy they're disgusting urges by giving them what they want, advertising revenue.

µTorrent never WAS an open source piece of software. Where did you read it, man?
