This article by Jenna Wortham and Amy Chozick us a must read for anyone interested in the current discussion regarding digital rights. Having worked primarily on landmark PBS shows that are over 25 years running at this point, I can’t even begin to count how often I am busy having this very debate, with myself arguing that making our shows available online is the only way we can discourage piracy. The most ridiculous this has ever gotten was a time, when we were unable to offer a program to viewers outside the United States, fans in Germany actually started trying to post links to torrents of the program in the comments section of one of my sites.
