Critic for Joost

p2pの始祖Bram CohenによるJoostへの批判をValleywagも支持しているようだ。

Joost looks like a humble distributor, merely relaying the channels of content owners. And that is its genius. Joost looks just like a harmless cable operator to the big media companies, such as Viacom, which are suing more adventurous web video projects.
The programming makers know exactly how this works: they pay per user for advertising supported channels which they're trying to get off the ground; and charge the distributor for must-have offerings such as ESPN.
The brilliance of Joost – Valleywag

Bram Cohen自身による言及は以下。

“Joost is kind of a quirky thing, it’s fundamentally based on the channels concept, which, like I’ve said, is kind of an old media way of doing things…Pieces of content can be organized any which way, and a channel is just one of many ways of organizing those.”
