It was a busy week in the world of online video.
First there is the battle brewing bewteen Hulu and TV.com. Hulu blocks their content from CBS backed TV.com and CBS claims that they have the right to strem Hulu’s content.
Then Hulu blocks Boxee from playing its content.
To cap off the week, we have the cable companies mulling an online video site that is behind a walled garden.
It seems like old media still has trouble digesting the truth. The inidcators are not encouraging.
The way I see it, they can make it easy on themselves and embrace frictionless syndication right now or do it the hard way by trying to prevent the inevitable.
