I'm currently working on launching Canada's first national public access television channel, and I was already planning to distribute as much programming as possible (including the commercials) on the Internet via BitTorrent.

I initially didn't want to add a station ID bug on the screen because I find them incredibly annoying. But after seeing your advertising bug example, I thought that was a great idea! Discrete advertising with no show interruptions!

Do you mind if I try it out myself?

[mpesce]

By all means! With pleasure!!!

[TheCanadianPublic]

Thanks! If all goes well, the channel should be on the air by the end of the year. Once that's done, I'll send you a link to the channel's torrent index.

Thanks again!

Looking forward to viewing it!

theres plenty of in movie ads, like why does james bond use a sony ericson and not any other cellphones? why does willsmith drive an audi in iRobot and not anouther brand? etc etc.

This advertising bullshit is just as annoying as the Transformers films. Just like when they placed these ads ALL at once in the movie of the first Transformers film.

Mountain Dew,Nissan,Xbox 360 and Motorola. They all turned into robots,movies these days are just nothing but whores now. This is why I watch only the old films and classics because they at least had some fucking restraint!

@Mikey234432 In the us depending on the length of the show it can range anywhere from 8-20 minutes. That is just counting the 30-60 minute shows. live shows that go on for hours can range up to an hour and a half or more on say award shows.

@CakeMace Dude... if you play rugby how can you not know its also called footy?

[Elite942]

I'm watching your series on piracy instead of doing my homework. Screw chemistry, this series is fascinating!

[magetacular]

Should just monitor piracy, have government pay out of tax money and still have advertisements (very small) for more money.

[Mikey234432]

30 second advertisments...

I live in poland... here the avarge is 15 minutes

[prizes99live]

[CakeMace]

[pegrum]
