All Media is online - FTW

I was reading on digg.com that tvlinks was shutdown last week. I had no idea what tvlinks was prior to reading the post. What's interesting is that in the comments of the story hundreds of people were posting responses and links to other websites that had tv shows and movies. Probably not what the copyright holders wanted to happen. The publicity on digg will only expose more people to the vast amount of coprighted media available online. This is where it's going. Right now Torrents and websites which link to torrents are very popular. In 10 years you won't have to worry about your dvd collection, or downloading torrents. Everything will be hosted and then streamed online via one click of the mouse.

Or is it already?

ABC.com Full Episode Player

I read somewhere about ABC.com's new full episode player. The quality is amazing. The player weighs in at just under 1mb.

Current shows available for streaming include:

According to Jim
Desperate Housewives
Lost
Ugly Betty
Grey's Anatomy
Brothers & sisters
What about Brian
Dancing with the Stars
October Road
The Knights of Prosperity
Men in Trees
Six Degrees
Day Break
Voicemail

Unfortunately, I don't watch any of these shows, but, this is cool. This will force the other networks to get better quality programming online.
