I just finished watching episode one of "Adam's Family," which I downloaded from Adam via BitTorrent.  I liked it alot, and I can't wait for the next episode -- even though I don't speak Dutch!

Many scenes -- from Adam's tiff with his wife to the cat-and-mouse chase -- need no translation.  And all the music's in English.  I was impressed with the lighting -- it is the inside of a real house, after all.  And the editing struck me as professional quality. 

But one thing jumped out at me.  I wanna know how much money they spent clearing all those music clips they used!  There's some classic songs featured, and some recognizable performances of those songs.  They must have spent a bundle.

Okay, cool.  He ended up getting it to work.  I'm pleased he's articulated the vision of using BitTorrent from within a weblog for lazy distribution of syndicated large media content.

There's a lot in Gillmor's article, but I wanna sneak in one comment.  Remember when I said Tim O'Reilly "gets it?"  From the article:  "All have put their money where their mouth is: [...] O'Reilly by donating 200 book titles to the Creative Commons licensing model..."

Totally sweet.
