I don't know if that qualifies as "high budget" or not, but if anyone was going to break the ice, it would be the Sundance Channel.

Much of this is illegal, but a lot is legal too. But this is not "original Internet content," this is TV content being replayed on the Internet. Original Internet content includes things like "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webisode" rel="nofollow">webisodes</a>" of TV programs, and <a href="http://www.nerve.com/video/youngamericanbodies/001/video.aspx?videoitemId=10" rel="nofollow">independent programming</a> produced with web distribution in mind. So far, the latter have gathered much more attention than the former. And conceivably, full-length high-budget studio productions <em>could</em> be created with the intention of releasing them on the Internet, but it hasn't happened yet. As for short-format high-budget studio productions made with the Intention of releasing them on the Internet? This could be the first. If you've heard of any others, let me know.

Respeck m'skilz. Took me 5 times longer than it took to write the damn post, too. Yeah, I made that Family-Guy-inspired Google logo myself. Respeck m’skilz.
