We went the music route of, oh, people are going to steal it if we don’t put it on line for them. Well, I don’t think people can steal these TV shows as easily as they can a song, and pass them around. I think it was a knee-jerk reaction. Our example should be, whoa, if you don’t put it online, people will watch it over and over on reruns. They will watch it on television. That’s our revenue stream. A show like Glee, which I happen to love, is against my show – but there are so many ways to watch it, it’s never an issue. I’ve never had to watch it during Criminal Minds, I can sit here at my desk and watch it, and I don’t know why that is of value to them." TVG -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
