By the way, Craig, here's a quote from the article Kon posted. Another example 
of something you seem unable to accept:

"The cable industry has resisted 'a la carte' pricing, allowing customers to 
pick and choose which channels they watch and pay for. Cable networks make part 
of their money from subscription fees paid by customers to the cable operators 
and then to the networks. So smaller networks could go out of business under 
such a pricing plan."

Specifically, the last sentence. You often mention how starving producers have 
a difficult time getting onto MVPDs, yet paradoxically you won't see that 
"robbing Peter to pay Paul" is the only chance for that unknown content 
distributed. A la carte pricing prevents that.
