Hulu will start charging for content in 2010
QUOTE
At an industry summit in NYC on Oct. 21, News Corp Deputy Chairman Chase Carey revealed that online video hub Hulu will begin charging users for content as soon as 2010, according to Broadcasting and Cable. Carey told reporters that a subscription system is likely, although some content will probably continue to be offered free of charge. “I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content. I think what we need to do is deliver that content to consumers in a way where they will appreciate the value,” he said.

Charging for it does not make someone appreciate it. o well, like Napster before it.

This is what is wrong with media management. They just can't leave good enough alone.
Also, Hulu sucks. They have almost no full episodes that I actually want to watch, and what they do have is usually partial seasons or something dumb like that.
