"Hulu, which attracted 31 million unique users in March under a free-for-all model, is taking its first steps to change to a model where viewers will have to prove they are a pay-TV customer to watch their favorite shows, sources tell The Post."

Good thing we have netflix right!? Except of course that people use Hulu to watch new shows out in the US.

These people really don't seem to get it. I imagine torrent/seedbox usage will go up again among the people here in NZ who used VPNs to get to Hulu/etc.

[Mod:Net Fixed link] (Hmm, that BBCode should've worked?)

Looks like this might not be happening, though I would't be surprised if it did..

Yes, saw that. But also read that this move might take around two years to implement...

After which time they'll realize that is a flawed business model, and they should sell the content to anyone who is willing to pay for it.... oops, excuse me. Thought I was writing a Tui billboard there for a minute :-)

But dreams are still free, right?
