SEINFELD - SEINFELD STREAMS

Turner Broadcasting's TBS.com has begun streaming four episodes of Seinfeld, thereby making the popular TV series legally available online for the first time. The episodes are titled, "The Yada Yada," "The Truth," "The Muffin Tops," and "The Millennium." The network said that it plans to offer additional episodes on a rotating basis. However, The Silicon Alley Insider website pointed out that the episodes are only available to Windows users since they employ Microsoft's copy-protection software. Michael Learmonth, who edits the digital business site, comments that by excluding Mac users, TBS thereby encourages them "to get their Seinfeld fix from illegal sources, such as BitTorrent. Which really doesn't help TBS much, or Sony Pictures Television, which owns the show, does it?"
