Earlier this month we noted how Disney and ESPN had sued Sling TV for the cardinal sin of actually trying to innovate. Sling TV’s offense: releasing new, more convenient day, weekend, or week-long shorter term streaming subscriptions that provided an affordable way to watch live television.
These mini-subscriptions, starting at around $5, have already proven to be pretty popular. But, of course, it challenges the traditional cable TV model of getting folks locked into recurring (and expensive) monthly subscriptions. Subscriptions that often mandate that you include sports programming many people simply don’t want to pay for.
So of course Time Warner has now filed a second lawsuit (sealed, 1:25-mc-00381) accusing Dish Network of breach of contract. In the complaint, Warner Bros lawyer David Yohai argues that this kind of convenience simply cannot be allowed.
IDK but I read it like you meant to write LACK of imagination, but it actually doesn’t either way, and I think you I think you should read some of my other posts before jumping to that conclusion.
You are extrapolating on too little evidence.
Yes and much was tried, and capitalism replaced it all because it works better. Including more modern attempts like planned economy.
Maybe we find something better in the future, but we haven’t yet. For now the key is regulation to prevent everything going to the 1% so they own and control everything.
And I will gladly admit that we are failing at that, but for instance in USA that is a fault of a dysfunctional democracy, not a fault of capitalism, because everybody knows capitalism does that if not properly regulated. And USA has chosen to allow it, because democracy between only 2 parties doesn’t work.
