He mentioned a couple of incidents where a TV program had been leaked to the web before it was aired. This seems to suggest that it's insiders and previewers who are sneaking copies out. If so, the content producers had better put their own house in order before forcing the ISPs to both shoulder the cost of monitoring, and play Big Brother.
