NBC prepared to offer more content via net

NBC Universal's chairman and chief executive today announced that the company is prepared to offer more programming in new media outlets, but is unsure of the protections against piracy in some venues. Bob Wright, the NBC Universal chairman said "we can't provide them with content unless they can adequately protect it. [...] We have to protect it and we need to price it appropriately," according to a report from Reuters. Wright saw reporters today, issuing a study on the economic contribution of U.S. industries that rely on intellectual property to generate revenues, hoping to spur industry leaders--as well as legislators--in the fight against piracy.
