The new Grand Theft Auto trailer is released on Friday, and it is interesting enough that I might get a PS3 just to play the new GTA, I did something similar with the PS2 and GTA: Vice City.
The new GTA is very eagerly anticipated and I suspect many will do the same as my plan...

Movies On The Web
Allfg.org, Youtube and Google Video...how many of you have ever watched or downloaded movies from these? Again trouble in the film industry is erupting because of the ease at which someone can go on the internet and download a movie - often before its official release - from the web. Legal battles are erupting - Viacom are attempting to sue Youtube/Google Video for these troubles.
File Sharing
Limewire, Napster, Kazaar: you have probably heard of them all - many of us download music apparently illegally off these and other sites everyday. So what is the problem? Well the music industry is losing lots of money when people are choosing to get an album otherwise costing maybe £10 for free. We are known as "Cyber Pirates" and there are "Net Police" who are trying to catch us. The Music industry is continually pushing for new laws - but are they fighting a losing battle?
Maybe they should use the rise in internet downloads to their advantage - they know people are going to illegally download the album so why don't they make it available under their name so at least they are achknowledged - one artist had many illegal downloads of songs from a new album but these songs were like previews and the sales of the album skyrocketed thanks to the downloads. The industry want PCs chipped with something to prevent illegal downloads - but the PC companies don't want PCs made by how the industry wants them - they make PCs for the public.
I would go on and tell you how file sharing works but I really can't be bothered.

The Impossible Quiz
This morning I came across a quiz made by Newgrounds (also made "Burnt Face Man). It is not entirely impossbile but it is very hard and the answers are not always as they seem! Take a look...

It is things like this and other pieces of internet entertainment that challenge TV, not only is TV challenged by internet gaming, there is also the fact that you can watch a lot of the programs on TV on the internet - who needs on demand (which you can argue is not really on demand as it cannot be viewed exactly when you please) when you can quite literally watch a program exactly when you want on the internet, whether it be illegal or legal, this is truly on demand.
yay.
