The trajectory for all of this is that, ultimately, if the VoD providers do not come together and federate or make a solid plan, we'll end up right back where we started - content piracy.
Music learned to not make stealing a better user experience than paying. Sadly video weren't watching. Making it impossible to buy in some locations or removing it from services where people were paying, in the hope of selling it from their own service instead, pushes people back to stealing. I'm not conviced music really learned either, once CDs are gone there will be little access to reasonable quality uncompressed downloads as everyone chases quite compressed streams. Bringing this back on charter, how many different CDN appliances will we need to host for all these VoD providers? I'm just as guilty there having made our own CDN for the BBC (as well as using commercial ones). brandon
