I'm in the process of going through all of them. It is very interesting to watch, and confirms a lot of my thoughts on BT and pirating. I highly recommend a look.

this has been done for years and years, eg> DivX movies.
its about time producers stopped fighting a lost cause in piracy and utilize the power it has. in fact...

The later episodes (like 3 and/or after) are concentrated on how producers can take advantage of the various technologies. A lot of it is strategies on cutting out the middle men (distributors).
