This is an example of how Craig redefines words to try to wiggle out of his
misstatements.
Craig, I told you for a long time that "the bundle" content was migrating out
of that "exclusive" bundle, even for current programming. You wiggle and squirm
to say it isn't so, "will never happen," and yet it happens. It happened with
Amazon carrying The Walking Dead, it's happening here with FX, and it's been
happening with other "the bundle" content too, over Hulu Plus and Hulu, and I
listed several examples in the past.
The word "exclusive" means you can't get it anywhere else. At least, not for
until after a long delay. Now you can. The Internet now permits this
alternative distribution method to exist, and consumers demand it.
Give it a rest, Craig. TVE is the old scheme, a technical anachronism. Content
owners are past that already.
