So I tried to start up a boycott against Hulu.com, well no one is interested it seems. Comments ranged from:
“Hulu is not to blame, they just do what they have to do” “I don’t use Boxee why do I care” and “Hulu is a free service that would be NOTHING if the content providers went away. They are at their mercy, “victims” like us.”
Hulu.Com has decided to block people from using their site with Boxee. Jason Kilar CEO of Hulu writes
“Our content providers requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product, and we are respecting their wishes. While we stubbornly believe in this brave new world of media convergence — bumps and all — we are also steadfast in our belief that the best way to achieve our ambitious, never-ending mission of making media easier for users is to work hand in hand with content owners.”
Boycott Hulu Grows!
Well it started out slow, but it is gaining momentum. It does not stop here, I need your help. If you have a blog, a website, a mailing list, twitter post a link back to:
If anyone is good with graphics, a good Boycott Hulu Badge for websites would be nice. I’m starting a facebook group, if your on facebook join it. It is called “Boycott Hulu Now!” it is located at:
Any other ideas to spread the word would be nice.
