A Fox Network executive responded to TorrentFreak's report of an increase in piracy caused by the network's change in online video policy with a statement that completely dodges the issue.

Yup...and so is "The News of the World"...or they were before they had to close for that phone hacking thing.
I really hope they follow through on their false promises...everything on the network should be available instantly online and without streaming limitations, and episodes should never expire...and there should be no additional fee (he said, "maximum benefit").
...and I think all the networks should do this. In fact, if they did this and offered access to the websites for $5 a month per site, I would turn off my cable (I only watch a handful of channels, but I have to pay for the expensive channel pack to get one of them).
Fox, looked at in pity & laughed at all over the developed world
(pockets of the USA excepted).
To anyone with even a shred of critical intelligence they are an obvious propaganda outlet, not a serious TV or news station.
With luck we in the UK are about to get rid of the Murdocks after the criminal activities of their company and bar them from holding senior positions in the UK.
With luck we will also have the sense to break up News International & impose sensible cross-media ownership riules so as to stop this sort of corrupting criminal situation ever arising again.
I've already complained in the past that I too pay an exorbitant amount of money for cable service & internet service. All of it continually bombards me with their self propaganda of all the wonderful attributes that come with being with this company, yet I can't access most of what they tout as having. And no, it isn't operator head space, it's just flaccid reasons to charge more for a rather simple service. Exactly what Fox is trying to do.
I really don't see what Fox is going to offer that isn't already being sold by the cable/satellite providers already. All I see is a double dipping avenue to now charge folks for their advertising as well. Pretty much like cable TV & the movie theaters do now.
