I'm sure the deal isn't everlasting... The content producers are the ones with leverage here, not the people who deliver the content (cable, satellite, etc)

Whoever has the cash has the power. Why would the content producers want to miss out on a major source of their revenue so that Justin.tv can stream their stuff for free? The advertisers and end users don't care, but everyone else in the chain has a monetary incentive to shut down illegal streams like JTV.

Why does anyone care where you view the advertisements? The point is that they are being viewed at all. The service providers (Cable, Satellite) have the weakest hand in this chain.

Ways to gain traction in the consumer market... 1. Use copyrighted content that is highly sought after. 2. Buy traffic, make it look like ur site is exploding 3. With suspect growth sign partnerships w/copyright Worked well for youtube though don't think they had to buy traffic 1 and 3 worked really well for them. Note: not trying to be negative here, just reviewing/studying the rise of various start-ups. How they go…

Why do you think Justin.tv is buying traffic? It's patently false, so I'm curious where you'd get the impression from.

Sorry emmett I was not saying #2 applied to Justin.tv
