Jonathan Marlow has spent much of the last two years trying to persuade filmmakers to put their most valuable products on the Net. On some days, the task feels a little like pulling teeth.

Good read.

What I'd really like is an iTunes equivalent for TV shows.

Would you be willing to pay to download TV shows? Until the networks find a monetary reason to deliver content via the net, they aren't particularly interested in spending money to serve up their TV shows.

Or so I'm told.

I'd gladly pay a low fee rather than worry about the MPAA. Of course, the networks' idea of a "low fee" would probably be something idiotic like $5 an episode.

No.

They should just have ads during the streams, and that's it.

Until this happens, I'll just continue to download all my tv shows, because I don't have a tv at home, and sure as hell am not going to pay for cable.

Paying for cable does seem pretty stupid when you don't even have a TV.

If you don't have a TV, isn't this whole discussion somewhat moot?

Maybe if he wasn't paying 4 bucks for a bunch of crappy, old magazines ... he could have a nice TV.

Dont think this is really going to be seen as necessary by networks if Video On Demand services take off.
