Can P2P serve as a legitimate distribution system for TV shows? Although most networks would say, “hell no,” the tale of Global Frequency may serve as an example of P2P’s potential to find audiences.
Writer/producer John Rogers created a TV series pilot based on the Global Frequency graphic novel by Warren Ellis. When the WB network didn’t pick it up, he thought that was the end of the show. But when the pilot was leaked to the public via P2P, it became a hit – with fansites sprouting up and a growing demand for the show to be put back in action.
Read this story in Wired for the full scoop, and this page for articles on reinventing TV.
Head over John Rogers’ blog for more on his current projects, as well as fansite Frequencysite.com for info on Global Frequency.

I wish AOTS would get the man himself, Warren Ellis, on the show. He's the King of the Internet, after all. Just take a look at his website (www.warrenellis.com).
I think it'd be funny.

I just wish ATOS could have told us exactly how to download the show so I could check it out. ;)
