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.
You have the right ideas in some ways but their execution in your head is lacking.
Read a little bit about the subject and you might understand what people are talking about. Maybe start with Rosa Luxemburg. She writes about reforming capitalism or tearing it all down and creating something new.
Good luck and remember we only limit ourselves with our thoughts.
Exactly my point, with the options we have now, reform is the way forward, not replace.
