Playback needs to be decoupled from licensing. I want to pay CBS, Disney, ATT, Comcast ONCE for each license. If I sign up for DirecTV, Hulu, Prime, Netflix, Youtube how much content am I double or triple licensed for. By making everything a bundle with some exclusive content, they are triple charging the consumer. Prime and Roku are at least a little closer to reality, Movies Anywhere, Vudu, Roku, Apple and Amazon have made some progress here. Pay a CBS or HBO auth price, and it integrates into the interface. There needs to be a way to discount a service when youre already paying a content license elsewhere. (I've written more about how this discount should work before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21482394 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21482394 ) No matter what playback app I want, once I'm licensed for it, let me play back anything I'm licensed for. I want one license manager. I register all my accounts or pay the license manager directly, and then I can sign into any playback platform with my single account, and that interaction determines what I can see. I can sign into a Roku, Firestick, or AppleTV with my Access Manager, without needing to reregister each account on each platform.
