    When distribution was solely through radio waves owned by networks it made sense to license to a network. Now you can sell directly to consumers. Why do producers go through mediaries and bundle shows? I don’t get it. If they want to make money from Band of Brothers, they could put it on their Web site at a reasonable price and charge consumers directly.

      As far as I know, series are still released on DVD/Blue Ray. Are you expecting for each production company to have their own content delivery network, maintain their own servers and everything else needed to run a video streaming plataform?

        … Yes, that’s what I expect. Do you think these are mom and pop shops?
