Joost invitation, anyone?

Quote from late apex:

Also, there are already any number (at least a couple dozen) of free Internet TV portals, showing hundreds of basic, premium and PPV cable / satellite channels, all at no charge, all delightfully free of "targeted" privacy invasion. Good luck putting them out of business.

Agreed, but all those free Internet TV sites/programs are basically getting people to illegally broadcast live TV thru their PCs. Its frustrating watching a channel when all of a sudden the broadcaster switches off his PC or his ISP bans him.

What Joost is doing is broadcasting licensed content. Imagine a show like Lost on Joost with its huge fanbase chatting in realtime about the ongoing episode. IMHO, this is gonna be huge!
 
Oh, I understand that important legal distinction. I still have major problems with Joost's fundamental business model, in terms of privacy as well as profitability.
 
And you EU guys wonder why americans fight so hard to keep government out of everything LOL

Socialized health care anyone? LMAO

Quote from romik:

Well, that is interesting. In the UK we pay a TV licence for having a TV set, TV receiver card for PC, DVD/video recorder. The fee is imposed by the British Broadcasting Channel. Even if you never ever watch BBC you still have to pay for the licence. That has been a debate ever since cable & Sky came around, why should we pay a licence for a channel that we never watch? But BBC is backed by a government legislation/s, so can't win that one. So if this company can offer everything that a usual cable channel offers to the UK customers & does not broadcast any of the BBC channels, then there is no need to pay for a TV Licence in that case.

Yeah, dream on. There will be some other legislation in the pipeline as soon as this takes off LOL.

However, the thread starter sounds like he's looking to receive an invitation, not supply one. ??

Correct, I thought I was pretty clear. But Don, I knew I could count on you! :)

I have read that the service isn't that great, not many new programs...

Always glad to help in clarifying (I seem to have to do that a lot around here on ET, LOL).
