Actually, you can watch all the episodes of
South Park for free. The ruling is hogwash, as technosoul says.
What Viacom doesn't seem to understand, is The Grateful Dead factor. I hate that band, but they didn’t make any money selling records, compared to the way they made money doing everything else. If you met someone at a dead concert, they had some things in common with you. The secret handshake, the clothes, whatever. That was important and you were willing to pay concert ticket prices to be with those people. After Jerry died, obviously there was thousands of hours to listen to, but that’s not what the people missed. The people missed the place they could go to meet the people like them. The Grateful Dead factor is why YouTube, Facebook, Napster, etc... are what draw in people. People listen to people, not faceless corporations suing their viewers/listeners.
