well, in Holland it happens, we're not as property-and-copyright-sick as the USA. We can even watch some tv-shows on the internet on the tv-channels website. Some dutch movies have only been released on the internet

Check out giFT. It might even be included in your distro, or in some third-party repos - is it PLF for Mandriva still? For DC, there is a client called Valknut.
