I guess one of the issues here is localisation. If you insert a commercial in a video then everyone, everywhere needs to watch that same commercial.
Also, commercials tend to go stale. You want to switch commercials based on season or even current affairs. This doesn't allow you to do that, T.V. and streaming video does.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it but I think these are two major issues potential advertisers will struggle with.
- jeffool 15y agoI can easily see them using a custom client so that they can segment the shows and add localized/fresh ads even as you go back and watch reruns.
- onedognight 15y agoI can easily see them using a custom client i.e. Hulu.
- zokier 15y agoYou don't even need a custom client. Bittorrent is based on pieces (or was it parts?), which are relatively small blocks of data. As long as your ads do not affect the file otherwise (and they shouldn't) people can seed the common parts (= the actual content), and the incorrect ad pieces would be ignored.
