Boxee Forced to Remove Hulu Content

This just seems like an incredibly dumb and short-sighted thing to do. TV shows on iTunes are just too expensive for me to really consider buying (especially for something I’m only going to watch once or twice), and ad-supported content that I can watch on my TV and control with my Apple remote is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I don’t know if the people who run these media companies are actively trying to fail or just dumb as bricks, but they’re definitely succeeding at one thing: pissing off people who are willingly trying to watch their content legally. Hulu’s CEO Jason Kilar also had something to say about this.
