Money makes the content go ‘round…
“Users want to see more content on Boxee. Content owners want to be paid for what they produce (whether that’s TV Shows, movies, music, or applications). We don’t believe these are conflicting interests.”—
Content rights have always been the thing holding back the next generation of content delivery. Here’s to hoping content owners overcome their self-serving biases and price their wares (for now) at a mutually agreeable level, even if it’s not the most profitable. In the long-run, teaching everyone the habit of paying for content online is more valuable than collecting relatively large payments from a few early adopters (and pissing off everyone else in the process).
