| Already figured it out
I already figured a lot of this out last summer when I prepared my CRTC application for a Category 2 digital television license. The proposed service will be a Canadian public access channel called "The Canadian Public".
In the application, I indicated that I was going to distribute as many of the TV shows as possible on BitTorrent with no embedded DRM or copy protection schemes. The catch? I'm leaving in all of the commercials.  But that's it! The files themselves will be ordinary AVI files encoded in XVID and MP3.
DRM and copy protection schemes are a real pain for any computer system. They steal processing power, they render the content incompatible on other devices, and they sometimes compromise the stability of an individual's property i.e. their computer. I want no part of that. |
