Cable is dead. Long live the cable bundle. Curious to see the pricing and if the bundle only includes ad tiered options.

It’s gonna take a miracle to pull me back off the high seas again. Netflix was big enough to do it all those years ago, but I can’t even imagine what could do it now.

The only thing that MIGHT take me off piracy is the ability to do legally and for reasonable cost what I do with piracy. If I buy something, I download and store it wherever and it's mine forever. I have no problem paying for my content, once. The problem is that we're being driven towards paying for our content over and over. Just like we're being asked to pay for our everything else over and over.

we know it'll never happen, but if they...

have content from most studios available indefinitely in one place - or even better, a federated platform - at no additional cost.
drop all this drm stupidity and allow the best quality streams on any general computing device.

only then, in my view, it'd equal the convenience I have today and I wouldn't mind paying a reasonable amount for that.
