 That's an interesting question |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 1
|
| Cable companies pay HBO more money to be a premium network |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 2
|
 plus, creating a streaming option likely won't end piracy |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 3
|
  Piracy isn't a factor, it's just an indicator of interest. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 4
|
| I'mma just quote Steven Soderbergh + leave it at that, I think... |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 16
|
| What you're ignoring... |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 18
|
| that report really doesn't say what you think it does |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 38
|
| Because piracy.... |
|
Nov 25th 2013 | 53
|
| Like I've said on a variety of topics in both PTP and High Tech... |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 19
|
| It is insane what it costs to get what you want |
|
Nov 25th 2013 | 68
|
| This was the initial argument when the question was first posed, yes. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 5
|
| that's a stupid assessment. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 7
|
| What an intelligently written, research-backed argument. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 8
|
| Didn't know about the Take My Money site |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 12
|
| because they like money. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 6
|
| And you clearly don't understand business. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 9
|
| that's the most likely situation. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 13
|
| Yet no mention of the quote from the guy who actually runs HBO... |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 15
|
| easy, the articles you cite are wrong and your interpretation of them is... |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 22
|
| Is that right? |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 28
|
| you proved me wrong on what again? |
|
Nov 24th 2013 | 48
|
| Ok, since you asked.... |
|
Nov 25th 2013 | 52
|
| first of all, oh my god I have a stalker |
|
Nov 25th 2013 | 58
|
| Uh, it's called the "search" function.. took about 10 mins to find them |
|

| Hey Rj! Yoo hoo!!! OVER HERE!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |

|
| You can get a streaming subscription by paying for the channel. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 10
|
| I don't have cable so can't pay for channel n/m |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 11
|
| Greetings, consumer at the margins. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 14
|
| and this is the crux of it -- you want HBO, but you don't want cable |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 17
|
| What exactly does this mean? |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 20
|
| LOL |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 23
|
| Different business models, try again. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 33
|
| ...which is rjcc's point ---> HBO's business model is more profitable |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 35
|
| Because they're not mutually exclusive. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 37
|
| except they ARE mutually exclusive |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 40
|
| Digital distribution doesn't necessarily have to mean streaming only. |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 42
|
| okay, ANYTHING that reduces their exclusivity w/ cable hurts their base |
|
Nov 22nd 2013 | 43
|
| And there are ways to explore new revenue streams... |
|
Nov 25th 2013 | 57
