Free Internet Television

I downloaded an interesting software application this weekend called TVexe. This application allows you to watch hundreds of live TV channels from around the world, on your PC, free of charge. There are news, music, shopping, sports, and educational channels in many different languages available for viewing. This definitely is an innovative idea and gets me excited about the potential the future holds for online TV viewing. However, after a few minutes of watching the Irish News and the Africa Hit Music Channel, I realized that, as great as this technology is, what I really want is to be able to watch "Lost" and "The O.C" online. I doubt American networks will ever let viewers watch their broadcasts online. Like the RIAA and the MPAA, network television will fight technology like this, which is unfortunate. Until the entertainment industry realizes you can make a profit in non-traditional ways, progress will be slow.
