The content creator typically sells some or all rights to their content to a distributor. Often it's that money that allows the content to be made in the first place, and if the distributors weren't there you wouldn't have the same range as content as is available today.
The distributor is a very important part of the creation process at the moment.

- goatforce5 15y agoYou don't want to buy it because you don't like the price they want to charge for the thing you want to consume, or you don't want to buy it because you have no interest in the product they're offering?
- sp332 15y agoThe day after a show airs on FOX, I can't buy it from FOX for any price.
- alanfalcon 15y agoActually, they do offer it (on Fox.com and Hulu.com) the next day to people who prove they are current Dish customers. They're surely extracting some money from Dish for this arrangement (the way ESPN 3 does from some ISPs), and they created a situation where you can indirectly pay for access to the cotent the next day (assuming Dish is available to you in your part of the world).
- goatforce5 15y agoThe way i'm reading it it's free to watch the next day on Hulu for existing Dish subscribers, or you can watch it on Hulu the next day if you're a Hulu Plus subscriber: http://www.hulu.com/support/article/20362238 http://www.hulu.com/support/article/20362238
