Hmmm... the best support would probably be to contact your local broadcaster and ask them to pick up the show. Fansubs would not be seen as help by the NRK, I guess, as it would be seen as taking away the market. Of course, if user-translated subs were popular, that should be seen as an incentive for other broadcasters to pick it up.

Big thanks to NRK for a very good technological method to share nature happiness with!

"the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation are promoting the free and open source Miro player as the most user friendly and easy way to get hold of the television series."Note to BBC: This is how it should be done (plus the torrents for higher quality versions ofc).

Almost the same happens in Greece, by Greek Broadcasting "ΣΚΑΪ" that let as see the series "Ελληνοφρένεια" ( that Rulez btw ). But it's not Η.264 and it's not shared via torrents. You can watch it here ( If you anderstand Greek that is ): <a class="user" href="http://ellinofreneia.blogspot.com/">http://ellinofreneia.blogspot.com/</a>

They could superimpose logos on top of the video to make it harder to avoid.

That was my thought - exactly like a TV station logo. I'd be happy to get DRM free movies with embedded ads. I was just wondering how others felt about it.

The world needs English subtitles for this!!!!! Please, please, please someone produce English subtitles and this will become so much popular globally. Thank you NRK.

Well, I would do ANYTHING for a new Firefly season, so a corporate logo would be the last thing I would be worried about!

NRK does not operate in a free market. It is government subsidised.
