The RIAA and MPAA and Major network TV will never get it. they are just that STUPID!!! They have this huge coup to get DTV here in the states (which is just the back door they needed to get people to pay to watch TV) and, now they have that why can't they seem to figure out that in this digital age people are more prone to be in front of a desktop pc or laptop then in front of a TV and with that being said they could have some much more with all the interactive crap they try to push during the TV shows...FU**TARDS seem to be in charge maybe when I'm about 60 we might have it by then cause my generation will be in charge...that being said also might not have anything left as well....

>/Paris cause she knows what people want...

... Not so sure on that one....

I was an invited early tester for the Beta joost, It was a great app, even if the content was old.

The reason i ditched it was that although they develop it on linux using open source, then ported it to windows to release, they would not even grace linux users with an explanation of why or if ever they would. Also is against the spirit, if not the word of the open source thing.

It all seemed typically disingenuous of such start ups. Also the content was naff.

Two really big nails in Joost's coffin.

It seems the people at Joost have lost their head and shoulders up their own arses, destined to fail like any other business where they haven't researched their market.

left by stage6.

They just need to allow users to upload content at a good quality like stage6 did.

Then they are competing with youtube etc. They don't create or license content, just facilitate video sharing.

This way they can set up some ineffective policies for getting take down notices served. i.e. have the studios send proof of identity and copies of their documents that prove they hold the licenses for various content. NO electronic copies thanks. originals only, they will be returned within 3 months. These must be sent for each takedown request.

Thank you for your time......

Joost was never about the product, just another Dot.com showcasing venture, but nobody took the bait on the side of the big Corporations, so their 'clever idea' never got the chance to be integrated into something else. Don't blame them for failing to research the VIEWING market, blame them for failing to research the BROADCAST market.

Eh?

You call people who spend millions making TV shows FU**TARDS because they don't give them away on the internet to companies with zero revenue like Joost?

Gee, why wouldn't they want to do that? For the same reason you don't stick an eight foot sword through your lungs, maybe?

Seems like they get it just fine. Only the saddo FR*ETARDs don't.

They should have employed you Dave, they needed someone to point out the bleedin obvious.
