Hulu May Begin Charging For Video Content
An anonymous reader writes "According to Jonathan Miller, News Corp's CDO, Hulu may soon begin charging subscription fees for some of their online content. News Corp is the parent company of Fox, which owns a huge portion of Hulu. When Miller of Newscorp was asked if Hulu would begin charging for online content during an Interview with Daily Finance, he said that 'the answer could be yes.' He went on to say that he doesn't 'see why over time that shouldn't happen.'"
real headline should be "Hulu expects viewership to drop off significantly."
Don't expect anyone to actually read this (as evidence by the half dozen or more posts already railing against this phoney news story).
TiVo, Inc. disagrees with this statement ... unfortunately.
People watched you because you were free. You were a simple way to watch a show someone had missed that maybe the Tivo didn't record due to electrical storm. Once you start charging, you lose your viewership. No viewership? No ad revenue. No viewership? No subscription revenue. And no, you're not Too Big To Fail (TM), so no bailout revenue either.
Too bad. You spent all that money on TV and movie ads about evil alien plots to get eyes on your site, just to screw it all up.
So you're confirming that we'll have to pay for hulu, even if we don't use it?
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
Great, just great. Now what am I supposed to do with all these torches and pitchforks!? Ass.
In capitalist America, shopping channels are paying for you.

You guys make me glad I'm divorced!
Free Martian Whores!
I want you off the fucking comments, you prick. Don't just be sorry, think for one fucking second. What the FUCK are you DOING? Are you professional or not?
Am I going to walk around and make off-topic shit comments, in the middle of your Canadian threads? Then why the fuck are you posting your shit here? Ah da da dah, no Hulu in Canada, like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? What don't you fucking understand?
You got any fucking idea about, hey, it's fucking distracting having somebody modding up clutter at the beginning of the fucking comments? Give me a fucking answer! What don't you get about it?
How was it? I hope it was fucking good, because it's useless now, isn't it? Fuck-sake man, you're amateur. CmdrTaco, you got fucking something to say to this prick?
