I hope there will be an easy conduit for these episodes to appear on torrent trackers.

In the end, though, I'd put money on Netflix existing in 2020 before I would any given broadcast network. TV is dead. Someone is going to have to deal with the question of live sports coverage, somehow, before this can happen.
You mean like the olympics that were streaming from the nbc website in 2010/vancouver? I consider it a solved problem. I bet more of the big sports leagues would _love_ to cut out the middle men and monetize viewership more directly somehow (like NBA league pass and MLB.tv are).
This bodes well for Netflix and their new business model. I hope that the programs they produce will be free of advertising.

I loved Arrested Development, and I'm glad that it's coming back, but I'm not sure this is a good move for Netflix. If this idea picks up steam, Netflix becomes a competitor to the networks and their relationships get worse. Heaven knows they're tense enough already. It seems likely that others may pull their content, as Starz recently did, lessening Netflix's appeal. So yes, in the short run they'll gain subscribers…

The hope, I suppose, is that future TV deals will decrease to the point that the leagues realize that they can make more money by just distributing it all themselves. That's seems to be what they are setting up at least, but the short term they are making so much money off of TV licensing.
The NBA All-Star game has been shown online for the last few years and it's a better experience because you can choose from four cameras (one of which was following a single player, very cool). That part of the technology is awesome, but I suppose you'd have bandwidth problems at a large enough scale.

I hope there isn't. Sounds like you're a fan, but either don't want to pay the creators, or don't approve of their choice of distribution? That doesnt give you a moral or legal right to stiff them.
Till they keep screwing people outside of US, I'll head over to the torrents.

There's always money in the banana stand.

I like movie previews. Am I the only one?
