Media Analyst Calls Hulu 'Anti-American'
Found on Techdirt on Sunday, 14 June 2009
Anti-America?!? How? Martin's claim is apparently "Media companies will lose a lot more revenue by giving shows away for free online than they will from pirates."
On top of that, Martin apparently hasn't looked at much of the actual research out there if she thinks that online shows are somehow cannibalizing TV revenue. In fact, most studies have found the opposite.
If you don't understand basic media economics, how can you be a media analyst?
I wonder why I still report stuff like that. Every week, there is another target for the "blame someone else" game of the entertainment industry. And it's getting so boring and ridiculous that it's pointless to even mention it.
