In a move paralleling the online archiving of The Daily Show, Viacom subsidiary MTV has announced their intention to put all of South Park online, for free. It's well known among fans that Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, have publicly encouraged downloading of their show from whatever source. This move would legitimize such activities, and undoubtedly generate advertising revenue.
My question is, won't this cut into their DVD boxset sales? Since The Daily Show isn't release in that format, it was a non-issue, but no so for South Park.
"One does not diminish the other by any stretch of the imagination. That is kind of our hat trick," was said by Judy McGrath the Chairman and Chief Executive at Reuters Media Summit in New York
