It's a bit of a long watch, but with the whole shit going down with The Pirate Bay, it's a good watch and totally relevant at the moment.

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).

but Sony doesn't make money on selling PS3 consoles, they actually lose money on every console sold. that goes for all video game consoles as well. they make all their money back by selling games, accessories, and blu-ray movies.
