2:48:05 AM , Rating: 2 What TV stations SHOULD offer are
regionally coded and perhaps personally tailored ads slotted in
HIGH quality downloadable files. The ads would be glued in the
file when the download is requested. Even offer a player that
will check if each ad is watched and upload that info to the
server (WITH USER PERMISSION!). You could slot web links into
the ads, etc... and so on, and so on. There are various possible
schemes for designing systems like this, but whatever and to
each their fancy...  Then there would be NO NEED for torrents or
illegal P2P, but the advertising revenue system could be
maintained.  Of course the two side effects of this would be the
canibalisation of hardcopy sales (DVD and BluRay), and the death
of classic tv stations.  I am not entirely sure if the death of
hardcopies would reduce revenues and if so by how much? Or if
targeted advertising would actualy increase the money earned
through its higher value? Ei
