Our friends Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the people that brought you Skype and Kazaa, have a new service for us webophiles.  Where Kazaa was public enemy number one to the music industry and Skype scared the TelCos, Joost takes aim at cable providers.  Joost is a free software tool that streams cable-quality TV over the web with peer-to-peer technology.  They’ve signed content deals with Viacom, Warner and others, providing shows from Comedy Central, Adult Swim and WB and classic TV like GearCrave favorite MacGuyver.  As more networks get involved, Joost could become the top destination for TV without paying for cable.  Want to give it a shot?  Download the Joost software now.
