Tape Delay by NBC Faces End Run by Online Fans

The US NBC’s decision to delay broadcasting the olympic opening ceremonies by 12 hours sent people to their computers by finding videos or TV broadcasting on foreign broadcasters’ Web sites or on Youtube.
NBC’s visitors could not see live pictures from Peking.
More than hundreds of clips were uploaded to YouTube.

As the newspager “New York Times” reported on Saturday NBC tried to regulate leaks on the Web and shut down unauthorized video.
A lot of blogs commented with a lack of understanding to this NBC tactic.

NBC said, making real money is only possible broadcasting such an event at primetime.

Good, we all have a global internet environment without country barriers to watch TV on foreign broadcaster or online at Youtube.
