Yes... it's great for distribution.
The other question is what you can get on it, and on what terms.
On the mostly illegal side of the tracks you can get music, movies, TV and more, in standard, vendor-independent codecs and formats, with no DRM and no advertising. The downside is a low but non-zero probability of getting sued or prosecuted.
On the legit side - what's it going to be? If they offer the same thing except legally and for money, I'll gladly be their customer. Pay a few dollars, get an unrestricted XviD/mp3 file, burn it to a CD and enjoy on the TV. That would be perfect.
But I suspect that's not what they have in mind. I predict proprietary codecs/formats and DRM. Those things make it, not just inferior, but completely worthless to me and many others. |
