Comments on: Hulu Now Hawking Amazon VOD http://gigaom.com/video/hulu-now-hawking-amazon-vod/ Sat, 26 May 2012 10:27:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: CD http://gigaom.com/video/hulu-now-hawking-amazon-vod/#comment-475745 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:36:43 +0000 http://newteevee.com/?p=31099#comment-475745 If you ask me, it sounds more like they are testing the waters to see how many people are truly interested in paying for a whole season. If they get a high percentage of people who follow through to amazon and they are doing well with the affiliate program, I’m sure they won’t hesitate to implement their own system. In fact, I’m surprised they haven’t already. When their window for a certain season closes, or the episode expires if it was me I would work out a deal where people could VOD buy those episodes.

HULU doesn’t need the distraction, and Jason Kilar has a philosophy of simplicity he shares with Steve Jobs and Apple.

If Hulu continues to act like a planet/wal-mart in attracting both users and ad-supported content in an ever un-catchable orbit, then there’s no need to confuse it’s proposition; While various stake-holders/partners will be happy to be able to offer unrestricted paid VoD (we can hope!).

Another thing to note might be that many rights-holders have insisted with smaller video-hosters/sharers that to gain copyright access to even short clips, they had to have some sort of transaction-link, normally iTunes or Amazon.

Kind regards,

Shakir Razak
