abc offers shows online for a two week trial period

starting this week, abc.com will offer encore episodes of all their shows for a two week trial run. shows like desperate housewives, lost and greys anatomy will be streamed online and available the next day for a full week.

yahoo reports that this service is a way for abc to fight online piracy and to boost interest in their rich roster of shows (check out sons and daughters and commander in chief will ya?). will it work, who cares, watch the shows you missed the night before online!
