Effective May 2006, Disney will make all its TV shows available for free download one day after the air in the States. Their catalogue includes Desperate Housewives, Lost and Alias. The downloaded videos will have to be viewed in a web browser, and have commercials that cannot be fast forwarded through.
This is quite a major change. I wonder if the downloads will be available to those not in the USA. Won't this affect foreign distribution rights if they are?
