I fear Veetle is going to be the Tragedy of Napster Redux. The video quality is light years better than livestream/qik/justin.tv, the viewing experience much cleaner, broadcasters have full control... but as commenters on Cringeley's blog point out, the site literally features things like "The Simpsons Channel" on the front page. It is basically The Pirate Stream.
I don't know how they're getting this quality. Maybe integrating P2P technology into the feeds. I don't know. I mean it's LIVE but the good quality feeds look as good as or better than Hulu. I'm planning to use it, happily, for a new project, and just hope it lasts til that's finished. The image quality is just amazing for live, let alone free. I'll be thrilled if they survive, with or without the pirated stuff.
