If consumers respected IP rights more, then perhaps IP would be worth more, and perhaps the industry would invest more in developing IP. ]]>Jun 29th 2009 6:41AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/
Oh please, you have it exactly backwards. Sure, there are some people that are going to pirate no matter what, but many people pirate things because they get some extra benefit beyond simply being "free". Whether it be convenience or whatever else. And your entire statement falls flat on its face when talking about MTV. MTV started fucking up many years ago... long before mass P2P. I haven't watched them in years because they couldn't be bothered to show music videos and even then they did they cut them short. For example, I hated how when they were doing some sort of countdown they would only show 30-60 seconds of videos that had been on the countdown for a couple of weeks. That fucking sucked. They're still on the countdown because they're still popular, why are you cutting them short??? So, no, there's no rational way you can pin this purely on consumers.]]>Jun 30th 2009 3:19PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 28th 2009 11:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 29th 2009 1:55AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 28th 2009 11:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/
Michael should check out Palladia. Palladia shows HD videos from MTV, VH1 and CMT at the same wee hours of the morning that VH1, MTV and CMT show their SD videos.

A majority of music videos werent stored in HD until recently.
Even when they were shot on HD they were still on DVD quality when given to the stations or distributed on promo discs.

The article is written by someone who obviously doesn't know wtf he's talking about, and he's already negated himself by asking for stretch-o-vision. Still, for what little HD content MTV has, they need to air it in HD whenever possible. It's kind hard when HD music videos are peppered in every now and then, but if shows like the Real World are being filmed in HD, then they need to do so every time. They also need to start advocating for HD, and start marketing what little HD content they have by making specific time slots for that stuff.]]>Jun 29th 2009 2:27AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/
I get that it means simultaneous broadcasting, but on what? Does it mean both on an HD and SD channel, or simulcast on separate networks in different countries. Or that the songs playing are simulcast both in the video they're playing in and on some music only MTV channel or radio station?

I don't watch MTV at all anymore but just call it being curious. I'd just like to know what this means precisely.]]>Jun 29th 2009 4:32AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 29th 2009 7:15AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 29th 2009 8:30AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jun 29th 2009 10:16AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/
Yeah it's sad it takes someone's death to start playing music videos again.]]>Jul 1st 2009 8:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jul 1st 2009 9:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jul 9th 2009 1:12AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jul 16th 2009 4:01AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/28/why-arent-mtv-hds-music-videos-in-high-definition/Jul 16th 2009 1:20PM
