Staving Off Bittorrent, Update

It's movies, not music, but today David Hudson blogged about an up-and-coming database of films available online, called SpeedCine. Not fully functional yet; or rather, it's functional but just not fully populated with all results from relevant sources. I wonder if/how they'll take into account brief windows of opportunity, like Pitchfork.TV's weekly rotation of features.

There is a section devoted to "Free Films," and I hope that will include information on commercials and interruptions. For example, just pulling a couple from the list, I'd watch Stagecoach like that, and would hesitate before doing so with Last Tango in Paris, but would still probably go ahead. There is absolutely no way I would want to watch Ballast piecemeal, though.
