you can consider this an open letter, i guess. it's to anyone who works in the broadcast or entertainment industry, but also to anyone who has ever downloaded or been tempted to download television or movies illegally, those who work in internet broadcasting, and those who make laws about what can and can't be done over the internet. if you're one of those people, it's time that you understand a few things about where the world is going and how people make money to produce content like television shows.

Yeah, and then there's the mass of wasted potential that is Hulu. I've been using the site since practically day one and nearly every commercial, which I actually watch since they're unskippable and generally not that intrusive, is for a charity.

You're telling me you can't get online advertising driven at my age bracket?
