P2P and TV 381
Khuffie writes "According to Wired, Warner Bros. Entertainment recently passed on a pilot of a show called Global Frequency. However, due to a leak on bit-torrent the pilot episode has reached thousands of viewers who are clamouring for more, and has given the show a new lease on life. What's more interesting is what the show creator learned. From the article: "It changes the way I'll do my next project," said Rogers. If he owned the full rights, he said, "I would put my pilot out on the internet in a heartbeat. Want five more? Come buy the boxed set." Frankly, I'm all for this method of distribution, as I barely watch 'regular' TV anymore."

Oh.
My.
God.
It all makes sense now. I thought intelligent shows were passed on because they were so hard to make and keep intelligent. But you just put it all into perspective. I thought it was mere lazyness and incompetence, but THIS, this is far more insidious.
