Wrong.
Hulu could expand its inventory in MANY ways. They could offer the old program
libraries from all of the networks for which they provide catch-up services.
They could buy up movie libraries.
But they are investing in original content. Just not for the reasons you cited.
Original, EXCLUSIVE content is the way content portals create demand for THEIR
service. Without it they are just another rerun in a sea of choices.

This is what is so frustrating in dealing with you BERT. I've been hammering
this concept for weeks. It is why Netflix is growing in popularity. It is what
made HBO pular. It is what fuels the ESPN juggernaut, which in turn makes "the
bundle" necessary for about half the homes in the U.S.
