Being distracted by TV in the background again, Craig? Content owners ARE
ALREADY DOING THIS, either FOTI ***or for pay***. How many times do I have to
repeat that before it sinks in?
Not just at their own sites, but also in other sites like Hulu, Hulu Plus,
Netflix, and Amazon. These sites and many more exist already, Craig. Quit
arguing in circles.
