Piracy is Good?

The one and only, original and full-length video, now up as a single film (because YouTube has now granted me this capability). All about television, audience-driven distribution of content, and what the terrestrial broadcasting networks can do about it. This talk was delivered in May of 2005. What's amazing is that most of what I predict has come to pass - but the broadcasters haven't changed their ways.

I only object with his argument on 0:44:49, this is wrong. When someone wants a funny 5 minutes film he do not want to download it, especially with torrent. He wants it on a youtube-like channel so he can easily switch it. Torrents are for bigger movies.

@lucinos19 When this talk was written and presented, YouTube was 8 weeks old.

I love this argument, it's very well thought out and true. Thanks for sharing.

I subscribed.

@mpesce yes, but I disagree whith his statement that it would be difficult to distribute epics. Torrents are at their best to this and many people are not content with small and funny

@mpesce Might be of interest to you, I have, & know ppl who, slowly phased-out of being a tv-audience since '95 - by '05 I was less than 1/3rd a "passive" content-audience and more than 2/3rd a "choice" delivered connoisseureance of content.

"The XP Hunters" should become a real series already... even in 'tube quality shows get canceled prematurely. IQQ|

Love the lecture; had caught it (on an odd-ball site w/grand artsy-delusions somewhere) five years ago, nice to find it again in full w/Q&A.

@mpesce I caught the dating comment - "Not sure what they do with them, Eat them and burp?"

Successes & failures also dating the lecture's known paradigm; Movie and Serial Episode "choice" services as Netflix & IMDb.

Live Streaming Broadcasts as full online InterCast-Networks of HD/DVB telly, I believe several countries already have such service now.

24hr Streaming Net-Radio DAB however, is a done-deal in full use world-wide with lots of option, and no serious format issues.

Book Radio FTW!!

@chrisrico [sings] "You need not always weep and mourn, Let My Micky Go, And wear these slav’ry chains forlorn, Let My Micky Go..."

All of these are quite obvious to me. I had the same thoughts independently. I just do not get it why these are not commonplace about seven years after.

It's interesting to realize that this speech happened at around the same time Youtube was brought online
