While here in the US, the morons in the various media industries continue to demonize anything using Bittorrent as clearly illegal, overseas we are watching the BBC getting ready to launch their own Bittorrent content. Looks like they are starting with a Creative Commons licensed tech show.
The initial episode will feature the ever-trendy, Kevin Rose, of Digg.com fame. Apparently the idea is to begin exploring distributing content in such a way as to reduce the costs it would normally take to get it out to people.
This is not to say that people would not still watch in on TV per se, but something tells me if they are looking to attract the younger, online crowd, going with Bittorrent is a darn good place to start off from. Am I right or wrong on this one?
