Big Media Forces Hulu To Pull Shows Off Boxee
Silicon Alley Insider — Big media is getting more restrictive with its Web video content. Do they just not 'get' the Internet? Or are they protecting their real revenue sources -- cable TV companies?

Boxee Relucantly Pulls Plug On Hulu, Sheds Digital Tear

Bud.TV Postmortem: Here Ends the Dream of the Branded Video Site
ClickZ News Blog — When it launched in February 2007, the day after the Super Bowl, Bud.TV had already come to symbolize the new age of brand-as-programmer. BMWFilms was still semi-fresh in the ad industry's collective memory, and the entry of Anheuser-Busch's destination site seemed destined to carry the torch. Two years later Bud.TV is gone, and with it the idea that major content destinations -- especially video centric ones -- can be a viable branding play. There are many reasons for this. One is the necessity for syndication. It was evident almost as soon as Bud.TV launched that the primary model for online video would be ...

Despite the 100,000 Hulu streams Boxee generated just last week, Hulu's content providers demanded that Hulu "turn off access" to Hulu content via Boxee, and Hulu complied, knowing that it can't exist without the good will of its content providers. Both Hulu and Boxee blogs expressed sympathy and disappointment. ...

Because Boxee puts the shows on the wrong kind of screen. If you think this is absurd, you are correct. Here's what happened, according to a Hulu blog post: "Our content providers requested that we turn off access to our content via the Boxee product."
