Youtube turns a TV channelIt looks like that the policy about copyrights and copylefts are changing. Everyday we watch television and listened to the radio, and what do you pay for that? Nothing but the cable monthly fee, but that’s independent of what the networks broadcast. They somehow manage to air copyrighted material but that’s completely transparent to the final consumer.
Musicians (read record labels) were especially concerned about the piracy over the web, because, in my understanding, people could hear their moneymakers for free. Well, but didn’t we did the same with tv and radio? Why would the web be different?
The web as been seen as a black sheep withing the media, but fortunately business men are getting real. I guess they finalize realized that the web could be advantageous rather than a “crime scene”. As a sign of that changing, some musicians started to release material for free, or even exclusively, in teir websites. Of course that’s not premeditated, but they finally are stopping blaming the spectator.
A brand new thing, at least was for me, was one of my fav shows, almost completely available on youtube.com, in a legal and legitim way:

Some episodes are missing, but ok, it’s better than nothing! And guess what, it has advertisements in between, just like in traditional tv!

If you know the movie MOONSTRUCK, a famous Brooklyn-themed film, I can take you to the home where they filmed exteriors for that!
