So you think the pirate on the web is a downloading the latest episode of Dr. Who or sharing music at an alarming rate? Think again this time it could be your local broadcaster. The problem comes as broadcasters use H.264 for both their broadcasts and streaming and it becomes easier and easier to move that content to streams on the web.
"Well, if you happen to be a TV broadcaster that also happens to have a license that allows you to stream your TV broadcast to the web, you might want to check whether you can stream this content. CCTV says you can't unless you are authorized by the company."
Who is CCTV?
"CCTV was granted the exclusive rights to conduct live streaming of the August Olympics in the Chinese mainland and Macao over the internet and mobile phones," said Hu Zhanfan, vice president of CCTV International, the company that won the rights of live streaming of the Olympics in both China and Macao, the former Portuguese colony near Hong Kong."
