Hulu inexplicably stopped allowing TV streams across the Sony PS3 Console recently. But now we have a reason why. A Hulu spokesperson has )at last) revealed why they blocked its free catch up tv streams on PS3.
The reason seems to boil down to Hulu having legal issues with one of the content providers who does not want the playstation 3 inteferring with revenue generated by traditional television distribution channels.
"Everything we do is with an eye toward achieving our long-term goal of maximizing the content you can access as conveniently as possible in a way that ‘works' for the content owner. In the short term that may require us to make some tough decisions, but we only do so when we believe it improves our long-term prospects to build a more enduring, legal solution to that same problem."
"However, in the near future," says Hulu, "the windowing strategy is still dominant in the business. Billions of dollars flow in across these different windows, and entire companies are organized around them. Nothing productive comes from flouting that reality (except to law firms who work on the occasional lawsuit)."
So in effect, Hulu are saying stick with us while we wean the studios off of the release windowing system whereby a movie "begins in theaters, then moves to pay per view and DVD, then to pay cable channels, then to broadcast tv, and so on down the line" - which has proved so lucrative and successful up until now.
And of course the TV studios want to keep a cast iron grip on distribution on the net until they figure out how to control it.

After the massive success of ‘Borat', Sacha Baron Cohen and his film studio were confident that the new movie ‘Brüno' would do it again with a predicted $50 million opening weekend takings.
But the promised and predicted millions didn't come. Although it still had a good weekend with takings at a nice $30.4 million, a lot of the expected cash didnt come. And many are pointing the finger at the tweeters from Twitter.
So how did Twitter cost Brüno millions? Well the social chatting site has millions of users who all type what they think in real time. Even just after watching a movie and some of the comments regarding Bruno, were not very complimentary.

Now, many of you will know that Brüno is an outrageous movie in the tradition of Borat, in fact it covers a pretty similar storyline, but it is not impressing a lot of movie watchers. And after watching, they twittered their opinion which travelled fast.
So now that movie watchers are the worlds harshest critics and tweeting to millions of followers. Can people power destroy a movie or make one a classic? Time will tell.

Contrary to popular belief that we will all be watching Ad supported Free TV online, it has been claimed that this year will see a major growth in viewers paying to watch online TV.
In a report published by Strategy Analytics, online viewers will happily pay to view, as they currently pay to listen with music downloads.


The report shows that worldwide spending on internet video content will generate $3.8 billion during 2009 even though we currently sit in the biggest depression of current times. This amount will surpass advertising revenue from online video for 2009, expected to hit $3.5 billion.
Even with the massive surge in popularity of online video sites such as Hulu and many other ad supported tv websites, the report reveals that paying for tv content will grow at a quicker rate than free content during the next few years. The growth rate is expected to be 39% each year up until 2012 as opposed to 37% for advertising paid content.
Interestingly, the report reveals that the current economic downturn is actually encouraging paid content. Martin Olausson, Strategy Analytics director of digital media research said:- "The economic downturn and diminishing advertising budgets have increased the focus on consumer paid content on the Web in the last six months."
There has been a massive decline in advertising budgets everywhere which has slowed internet TV's advertising growth, said Olausson. More and more consumers are staying at home for their entertaining pleasure and paying for it.
It seems that because paying a small amount for content is now considered the norm. Viewers will happily fork out for viewing pleasure as well.
