Lost and Desperate Housewives are just the beginning. Disney ABC Television is working to deliver more video content to iPods.

But important issues remain to be solved to allow iPod video content taking off. The first regards intellectual property rights.

Disney has signed an agreement with Lycos to promote the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” through Europe (which in Italy becomes “The curse of the first moon”, boh!). Nine countries will be involved in the campaign that will take advantage of a special web site in nine languages. Disney is trying to take advantage of the very well established Lycos communities. Users might play the characters online by challenging other people throughout Europe in the Fight Club (that will be hosted on Lycos web site). There will also be a chat room and a competition to win the movie gadgets.
