JeffinDC, your interpretation of Roo is way off the mark.
Check their recent news, P2P, VOD, NWS ownership and current partnerships and you might come to a different conclusion.
Unless of course you have it in for them and wish to remain close minded.

Not too surprised to see Stage6 going away. There are too many online video sharing sites that think they offer something that their competitors don't. They say they have HD, or some other great feature; but the problem is that most people do not want to watch movies on their PC, and they havent made it easy enough nor made the quality good enough to take the time to get it on your TV, (which most people don't know how to do anyways). At the end of the day they all go out of business. Roo, Akimbo and others are on that list as well. They started out with the same dreams, but if you follow the press http://www.roo.com/news/ it's clear they won;t be around long.

Note to VC's, if you want to watch your money dissappear real quickly, keep investing in VOD-IPTV start-ups.
