If this is in fact true, I think it will actually be a good thing. It will highlight the backward direction the entertainment industry is taking for the more casual consumer. There will be significant backlash towards the networks and this will blow up in their face. The networks would be naive to think this would fly under the radar. In today's internet society, people organize and get vocal fast. SOPA/PIPA proved what a scorned internet is capable of doing. Once you're labeled as uncool and out of touch it's hard to come back from that. I'm quite positive the overwhelmingly negative press would be too much of a PR nightmare for Hollywood. Perhaps I underestimate Hollywood though. They've shown in the past how much of a straight face they can keep while feeding you a line of complete BS.
