You're not joking, jsherry. From the article: "And some of them will be cable TV subscribers who should be able to watch shows but can’t deal with the hassle of proving that they’re entitled."
Amen. I DO subscribe to cable, and I usually use Hulu rather than my DVR (that I also pay for) because I don't bother setting recording on it... But this kind of silliness is just enough to drive someone to piracy.
I know this is obviously a "first world problem," but I completely fail to understand how an industry that made its proverbial bones by giving away content for free thinks the smart move is to erect a pay wall. I'm really curious the number of views a show gets on average the first month it's on Hulu. (At least those put up the day after air.)
And that doesn't even touch on the region-blocking and delayed broadcasting in other nations.
