So, we locked up Soapbox to just registered users for a period of a couple months while AudibleMagic scoured through the content to eliminate copryrighted material. (And yes, I had a couple items in my stash that were copyrighted unbeknownst to me. The experience is interesting… it basically removes the content and leaves a blackbox placeholder in Soapbox that reads, "Copyright Violation")
In any case, the big news is that we signed deals with NBC & Fox to broadcast their content on Soapbox.
Think about that for a second: NBC & Fox are going to be using Soapbox as the backend for their video broadcasts. For two large media companies to suddenly broadcast their content on another system… there must be a pretty compelling reason to do so.
Can you say… Silverlight? <grin> Of course, I’m guessing. But c’mon. Y’know it’s gotta be coming.
