it turns out to be reality TV they are torrenting
Now apart from the age old question about why anyone would want to watch
reality TV, this is a great lump of content to trial new distribution
methods with.
however it is important to recognise that the demography of people who
watch reality TV, are almost certainly *not* the same as those who grab
tv content (from what ever source) on their computer.
I would encourage all broadcasters to trial new distribution methods
using quality content, that fits the demography.
Example: Channel 4 released the frist two episodes of The IT Crowd, on
it's website, without DRM. Instantly turning it into a classic:
