The competition for Newco will not be online but offline. Who likes to watch programmed television when they can watch on demand? Cannnibalization is lurking, but the other alternative is even worse: being bypassed by other (legal or illegal) online distribution forms. Hopefully the networks will understand soon that the world is a little bigger than the US and the rest of the world can profit as well. Otherwise, Joost, BitTorrent and co will florish even more. YouTube is there for the long tale, this is the short head of the curve. This is a gamechanger allright, for the networks which still broadcast analogue and linear.

There are many of us fed up with overproduced, cheesy, and generically beautiful shows, and can't be satisfied with reality TV. We have tasted some personal power now in the way of discovering our own palate where entertainment is concerned, and enjoy the activity of scoping out our own content. There will always be those who like to have their plate served to them, but then there are others who want to be the chefs. LOL It's a new form of entertainment in itself for us to scope out talent ourselves, be the entertainment ourselves, play the critic, and give feedback straight to the videographer. It's an interactive indie thing...like the difference between baseball and extreme snowboarding. I don't think networks will be able to win back those audiences. Now, if they want to talk commericial-free, we might head back to the tube every now and then. YouTube and like sites have nothing to worry about.

There are tons of sites that stream full movies and tv shows the day after they come out so I've only used youtube for it's great community of video makers. Having the movies and shows available legally is just adding another option for people that stream their movies and shows. I don't see youtube being affected very much by this since youtube is all about user made videos. This is just my opinion, I could be wrong. :) I like this idea a lot.
