Dave, For IP if you wish,

Here's an interesting development:

http://www.cbc.ca/nextprimeminister/blog/2008/03/canadas_next_great_prime_minis.html

CBC is going to distribute one of their television shows, "Canada's
Next Great Prime Minister", via bittorrent.

So, besides the independent music distribution done by artists and the
linux distribution, now legitimate non-copyright-infringing television
shows will be available via bittorrent.

Bummer for the customers of ISPs that inject RST to monkey up
bittorrent for their customers.

Regards,
Victor
