How Free is TV?

P2P distribution of TV shows is an increasing concern in Hollywood. While it's not as pervasive as music sharing, TV sharing is rapidly increasing and riding the surge in global broadband.

Unlike music and movies which people have to buy to enjoy, TV is free. Most consumers don't associate it with illegal downloading and file sharing.

It's another case of an entertainment sector demanding full control of its content. TV producers complain that P2P downloads decrease direct revenues from DVD compilations, international revenues, and even iTunes. They warn that edited shows that strip commercials undermine the advertising model that makes TV free today.
