This is an utterly disingenuous argument. $0.99 to rent an episode for 24 hours is no more buying that paying $5 to rent a DVD from Blockbuster. You don't even "buy" the episode at the $1.99 price: it is a DRM-protected file that only plays on Apple devices.
If I pay $40 for a 22-episode season of a series on DVD, that works out to $1.81 for an episode that I can play on any DVD player and rip to an MP4 file I can play on any device. Oh, Mr. Zucker...how we'll miss your ignorance and general cluelessness when you're gone. On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 8:36 PM, Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: > So sayeth the CEO of NBCU.
