[CoLoCo] internet TV

[Michael Haney]

Has anyone tested to see if Joost works in Wine or Crossover Linux?

Joost is a free video-on-demand service put together by the makers of
Skype.  I'm a beta tester of it on the Winblows side of things.  I'm
also a beta tester of VeohTV, which unlike Joost is just a way to
deliver webcasts via a menu driven VOD GUI.

Stuff coming from the internet doesn't necessarily come from the broadcaster and may not be how the copyright holder meant it to be distributed. It's like broadcasts are intended for your personal use; you may not legally redistribute them.
