P2P TV
Lanaki writes “A non-profit based in Austin, TX is merging the free software and Copyleft communities through a new internet TV station: ACTLab TV. They are streaming Creative Commons, Copyleft, public domain content, and original videos using Alluvium software and their own media player. It’s all open source, encouraging others to make their own audio and video streams. Their website was released this week and the player and demo stream will go public next week.”

Broadcasters around the globe are worried at the development of P2P-TV, software that does to television what Napster did to music. Using a peer-to-peer network, viewers can use a computer to swap whatever they are currently watching.
This is a new type of free software that allows internet users to share their television fare with millions of users worldwide, sharing a TV channel (any channel you may receive) with other internet users.
The current initiatives (like Cybersky, Videora, Onion Networks, Peercast, Coolstreaming, DTV / Broadcast Machine from Participatory Culture and Kedora) are listed on this site.
This site also hase more links to real time and on demand video channels.
