Sounds like a lot of work compared to using Hulu or BitTorrent. The Internet bandwidth costs more, sure, but it's convenient. Lazy wins.

Where there is a price difference, there is an arbitrage opportunity. Sure it's a bunch of work, but it only has to be done once. With something like software radio it can even be invisible to the end user. It becomes a usb dongle that feeds them high def youtube et al.
