P2P with Skinkers and LiveStation

I just don't get why Peer-to-Peer is a great way of distributing TV-like content. It's just like having your windows open with no screens during the summer. Sure you get that cool breeze of fast downloaded video, but you let all those bloodsucking mosquitoes in. Akamai and Limelight get paid for hosting files. Is what you download worth providing other people with free hosting, your internet 'pipe' and the wear and tear on your computer?

The Wall Street Journal does a nice update of my blog entry "What's All This About Ippy TV?"

"NASCAR in Primetime", HD and 5.1

In "Gentlemen, set your TiVos", Frank Capria blogs about the ABC News limited Series "NASCAR in Primetime." What he doesn't say is that the series was shot in HD (much on HDV) and was mixed in surround sound. You get a chance to compare the quality of "studio" cameras with DVCPro100 and HDV all in one place. Catch the last two episodes tonight at 10P E/P and next Wednesday at either 9 or 10 P (ABC has been moving it around.)
