People like me are trying to help your friends keep their jobs. The refusal of the networks, and entertainment industry as a whole, to adapt to the technological times has put a much bigger hurt than anything. The music industry pioneered the cassette and cd, but they did not do the same with the MP3 which they should have and it cost them greatly for not doing so. At the moment, only tv.com has an app for the Android, which is sad in itself. Hulu is fighting off from being able to be viewed on Android, even though users want it.
The more the industry tries to fight it, the more harm they cause themselves, and the people who work in the industry. Instead of fighting it, they need to be more proactive in revolutionizing it. I watch Hulu everyday from my pc, but for whatever reason, I cannot do the same from my Android. All that does is persuade me against using them on my pc.
The industry needs to realize that there is a market that does not just want to watch tv shows from their tv. In fact, many people prefer to watch tv shows away from their tv. For me, sitting in front of a tv is a waste of time and productivity. Even though I am young, I have had my own business interests since I was 10 years old. From having my own lawn mowing services, employing my friends, to shoveling peoples driveways and multiple paper routes. I am an entrepreneur at heart. I mean no harm to anyone.
I would like to hear your input about this lawsuit against Google for using Java in the Android operating system that could potentially cause serious harm to Android. Also, why don't you go around and tell people to stop posting their custom roms since the majority of them have the google apps put into them illegally. How about you go tell KaosFroyo that they need to take the google apps pack off the custom Froyo rom, since google already made cynagon take the apps out of their builds.
Another factor I think has hurt the entertainment industry is the lack of originality. Networks are too busy copying each others TV shows, for example, CSI was a big hit, and other networks have copied with their own versions, such as NCIS. The same goes with reality shows. Even though many people don't support them, they continue to get shoved down our throats.
My reason for not enjoying watching shows on a tv is that you spend so much time channel surfing and still not being able to find anything on that is good. I'd rather go buy complete seasons, or goto Hulu and watch tv shows. All I want, as well as others, is more options, and I will support better options
