The television audience will further disintegrate.

I watched a Live Keith Urban Concert tonight on AOL Music...and then spent an hour watching other videos they have. Sometimes a funny 15 second commercial pops up....but not as annoying as watching TV.

If they have "Star Trek" the original "Battlestar Galactica" and "The Incredible Hulk," I may never leave my computer again!

This will be challenging since AOL is essentially "Computing For Dummies".

If people weren't interested in long-format video on their PCs and laptops, they wouldn't have DVD drives built into them. The questions are 1) what programming do they want to see? 2) how much are they willing to pay? 3) how do they copy-protect it to reduce the number of pirated copies going around?

Maybe the television industry is finally waking up to the potential of the Internet.

WB put the first epi of Supernatural, a new program this season, online for full, free download a couple of weeks before the series started on broadcast TV.

Many old movies and series have become public domain. There are now several websites dedicated to their downloads. These are legal downloads because their copyright restrictions have expired.

These are reasons why judges need to study technology (such as p2p) before they render their decisions. P2P can deliver completely legal digital files, movies, music, etc. When a judge rules against the p2p technology, that judge does not understand the capabilities of technology.

NBC might put some of their programs online, but, as Jay Leno quipped, no body watches them for free on broadcast anyway, so who's going to pay $1.99 to watch them?

Why bother? You can get'em all on Netflix already.

Hewitt mentioned this during his show yesterday. Some of the other shows they'll be showing are cult shows like Babylon 5, The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. and F-Troop. Heck, I'd consider downloading the Brisco County stuff.

They should bring back "I Led 3 Lives" about the US counterintellegence agent among communist spies working to undermine the United States. Based on actual casework.
