Sortie, I am more or less looking for people who already had a slight interest in the market so I didn't have to explain all of this. It's quite simple if you want me to paint it out for you though.
You would be buying software you would sell to your surfers at a price you choose. Some people sell via Dutch Auction on E-Bay at $9.95 per copy and from what I see average about 20 sales a week or so ...
If you Google "Tv On PC" or anything along those lines you will see the type of sites selling this software for $40.00 + They advertise the fact that you could watch Bloomberg, CNN, they claim HBO, Cinemax, etc (still yet to really see that myself), but the bottom line is they are selling you the ability to watch thousands of channels from your P.C. without any monthly charges (just a one time fee). Once you buy the program you can listen to 1,000's of radio stations as well on 99% of the programs or you can watch television from "90 + different countries" although my current DB is only at about 45 or so right now.
After Shock, Yeah ... That's Very True .. The Point of this SW is you are trying to make people believe they can use Windows Media Center, buy your software, watch the same channels hey have, and run it through their broadband connection for free and kill the cable costs :o) In actuality we all know it isn't that simple but ...
There are thousands of (strike that, MILLIONS OF) free porn sites out there and for some odd reason people keep paying for it ever day to the tune of billions of dollars per year.
Fact is, in the future, more and more independant directors will be airing their stuff through the internet for free and collecting advertising revenues (or selling their episodes/movies through ITunes and other similar services). Having one single program you click on and loads up every genre for you, updates new stations, e-mails you with new station releases, so on .. so on .. Is not only convenient and kind of cool - But also has a ton of ways to be monetized besides the initial upsell (such as future PPV via internet events).
Video on the internet is in it's infancy still - There will be a ton of venues, You Tube was the first big one. Programs like the ones I am talking about here have been around for over a year and the same ones still show up on Google Ad Words, MSN, and Yahoo a year later still paying to run their ads ... not to mention many game sites as well as quite a few other relatively cost effective sources of advertising. Doesn't take a genius to realize that a company running the same ad campaigns and re-skinning their products under different names has *something profitable* up their sleeves
