<p>I remember <em>NieA_7</em> being streamed legally by the broadcaster's a week after the episode was released and this was like back in 2000ish. But, I am not sure if there were any other anime series before this that was also legally streamed online by their original broadcasters.</p>

For those who don't know about *NieA_7*, could you explain a little bit how the broadcast worked? I assume this is in Japan since you mentioned year 2000, or did you mean the English one in 2007? Where was it streamed online?
