Every conversation about Hulu gets highjacked by this kind of talk. We get it, its not changing anytime soon, and its not even Hulu's fault.
Now back to the topic at hand...
- jwr 14y agoWell of course it does. Hulu does not want to sell to the majority of the world population, that's a pretty significant issue. Also, it's irrelevant whether it's Hulu's fault or not. It needs to be brought up regularly, to put pressure on everyone (including Hulu). If we ignore the issue, we accept the status quo. Look at it another way: for a large number of HN readers this news item is just an annoyance. Something we can't even check out. You see a news item, you click on the link and get a "nyah nyah nothing for you here, just go away". I'd say that merits a mention in the comments.

- officemonkey 14y ago>its not changing anytime soon, and its not even Hulu's fault. Of course it's Hulu's fault. Hulu's owned by NBC, FOX, and Disney. I am certain those three content providers could retain world-wide internet streaming rights for their shows and make them available in any number of countries. As long as they make it impossible for the rest of the 6.4 billion people to watch their site, they're not only leaving money on the table, but they're encouraging people to pirate.
