Word just came in from TorrentFreak that ThePirateBay.org have been working on a streaming video website for countless months that takes advantage of the free media formats OGG, Theora and Vorbis. While filesharing in itself is a controversial subject, this will place HTML5's <VIDEO> and <AUDIO> tag--and more importantly the OGG Theora+Vorbis multimedia format--in the spotlight of countless people. This is also convenient for FireFox (and GNU IceCat) as the new point release version is getting closer to its official public release. Congratulations to ThePirateBay.org team for making this possible.
