[quote]The obvious question remains–if this was the REAL motivation for the actions in such, then WHY do the “content providers” not have any problems with HULU doing essentially the same thing as Boxee? [/quote]
The answer is pretty obvious I think; considering Hulu is owned by NBC Universal, (Fox) News Corp, and Disney, the “content providers” ARE Hulu. You might as well rewrite Jason Kilar’s comment about cutting off Boxee as “[s]Our content providers[/s] [i]Hulu (well, the people who own us anyway, you know, the content providers…)[/i] requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product”.
