I've read his name I think about three times from you, I now believe you are Robert trying to promote yourself     jk, I checked the episode of the Bitcoin Show earlier when you had posted and I did not immediately recognize that guy either, but I will be rewatching The Good Wife tonight.  I didn't hear the whole interview, so I didn't catch his relation to the show or cast or anything, I just figured he might be one of the writers friends and does walk on parts or something.

I just tried it, and it started just fine for me...

Watching in another window right now from that link, try again.    I am not sure if I am surprised or not that a full tv show, not just clips, is put online on their own website after the show airs that quickly, but maybe that is a commonplace now in days?   Smart of CBS to do it on their own site rather than cough up money to Hulu I guess.

All the major networks do (except Discovery, and I rue them for it).  I often watch shows I am interested in on the web now, instead of on their timetable.  I think the last major network show that I didn't find hosted at their own website was American Idol, and for good reason (no voting allowed after 2 hours after the show ends, IIRC).  Not that I watch American Idol or anything.... *ahem*

Lots of times companies are reluctant to "casualy" use even open licensed artwork because verifying the license can be difficult and tracing back the work history can be next to impossible.

For example say I make Bitcoin logo and license it creative commons for for non-commercial use only (or offer no license).  Someone copies my work (unknown to me) makes a small change to it and releases it public domain, or creative commons, etc.  Now the TV company uses that license. They even do some do diligence and "verify" the image & license is valid.  The show hits the air and I go "WTF that is my artwork?".   The show thought they were using a lawfully licensed original creation but my copyright is still valid.  If I convince a judge that the derivative work is similar enough to my own well I might end up with a million dollar pay day.  

Just the chance of that happening and the difficulty in verifying work product makes companies very reluctant to use work which could be unlawful derivitive work.   Unless the artwork is essential to the story companies don't even want to take the chance.  Given 99.999% of the audience hadn't heard of Bitcoin uses an alternate created in-house artwork bypasses the whole legal issue and has no real effect on the story.

I just saw the episode and it is absolutely INCREDIBLE !

I mean, of course it had a lot of usual stupidities and simplifications so average american is not bored (like "Mr. Bitcoin is such an awesome haXX that only he can change the bitcoin code and embed something in the blockchain" - LOL), but overall, the episode was much much better than I thought.

What i mean to say is I expected it to be far more foolish and inaccurate. They actually got about 90% of the important details **right**, except for that creating currency is not illegal in the US. They even included the currency vs commodity dispute which is often brought up on the forums.

I am also impressed by the number of times they actually used the word "Bitcoin" in it. It was like they were really trying to advertise it !

I may consider actually watching "The Good Wife" after this, even though i don't like the "law-drama" genre very much.

I am currently watching this right now.  First episode of this show I've seen.  I got a little angry when the stupid old fuddy-duddy judge got impatient and ruled BTC is a currency.  Me more watch now...

I know, right??  Everything you said!

Do the writers or the producers have a bitcoin donation address?
