Isn't Joost founded by the same guys that made Skype then sold it to ebay for an insane amount of money?

PGHammer join:2003-06-09 Accokeek, MD clubs: ·Comcast	reply to cob_ The problem isn't legal issues (Joost is actually going by the book getting the rights to the content it shows), but more a question of demand/bandwidth constraints. As to the fact that the shows it is airing are all older, that is largely because the closer content is to current, the more likely the rights will be closely held by the content owner (especially content that can be sold into syndication and/or DVD) and the less likely that content will be permitted onto a free service like Joost. I have Joost! Friends Edition running on Windows Vista (and on older hardware to boot) and am having no problems other than the expected bandwidth issues. I can run it either full-screen or even in a window; as long as I have bandwidth, playback is clean as a whistle. (Considering I'm on the East Coast, and the US Joost server is in Los Angeles, that's darn good.)
