It said these old shows would be streamed free of charge. Will there be commercial interruptions? AOL is not doing this out of the goodness of their heart. There has to be a money angle in there somewhere. I can see the day (not too far off) when big media starts leaning real heavy on ISPs to throttle certain kinds of internet traffic down (P2P) so there is more bandwidth available for them to stream their commercials into people's brains, er, I mean homes. After all, the media does not exsist to inform and entertain, it's purpose is to create demand for consumer goods, oh, and also to consolidate more power and wealth for the powerful and wealthy.
