Yet more TV content online. Through Apple's iTunes service HBO is offering video interviews with the cast, show summaries, behind-the-scenes footage and audio clips from the shows The Sopranos, Big Love, Rome and Entourage. Actual shows to follow? Showtime has already begun releasing full shows through iTunes - and is seeing success.
Meanwhile, the
French are huffing and puffing about the iPod monopoly and threatening to enact a law, under which:
It would no longer be illegal to crack digital rights management--the codes that protect music, films and other content--if it is to enable the conversion from one format to another, said Christian Vanneste, Rapporteur, a senior parliamentarian who helps guide law in France..
..The law, if enacted, could prompt Apple to shut its iTunes store in France, some industry observers say, to keep from making songs vulnerable to conversion outside France, too.
Sweet.. Of course opening up the content in one country would effectively allow anyone who wants the open content to get it using a french web proxy, I would suspect. Those Europeans and South Americans really love their open systems - an indicator of one of the key political divides between them and us North American counterparts. Grow up with capitalism and life looks a lot different out the window, not surprisingly.
