Hulu asks Boxee to pull content, it complies
Engadget —
... this content on your TV in a convenient way threatens the current model (read money) -- you can't say you haven't thought about getting Hulu on your TV so you could cancel cable.

Hulu CEO Jason Kilar is smarter than his corporate content masters (News Corp and NBC Universal) and realizes how bad their decision to turn off access via Boxee is: "We realize that there is no immediate win here for users." It's not a win for Hulu, either, since it means Boxee users are more likely to turn to torrents and other ways to watch shows now out of convenience, and with their ad model, lost views is lost money. ...
Content Owners Force Hulu To Kneecap Boxee
CrunchGear —
Boxee, the powerful software package that can convert computers, Apple TVs and other popular products into media centers, has just been kneecapped by major studio content owners.

Today, Boxee has announced that Hulu will no longer be supported.
From the Boxee post:

Hulu says “Bye bye” to Boxee
Gadgetell —
... keep up the last five episodes of the show. In another example of bullying, the Fox network only allows new “House” episodes to be posted eight days after initial airing. Even then, the episodes are only up for a limited time. Network greediness is definitely rearing its ugly head.
As if Hulu didn’t have it bad enough, it also announced today that it is cutting ties from the CBS-owned TV.com due to contractual issues.

Hulu Pulls Content From TV.com, Boxee
Today @ PC World —
... its decision to pull its content off of Boxee's application in a blog posting that said the decision "has weighed heavily on the Hulu team, and we know it will weigh even more so on Boxee users." Boxee responded in its own blog , optimistic about future negotiations between content providers, Hulu, and Boxee. Now that TV.com is barren of Hulu content and--starting Friday--Hulu will no longer be accessible via Boxee, the question is: What is Hollywood trying to do? First it gives the public a massive sack of programming and claims it's for free. Then, seemingly out of the ...

Shownotes:
Hulu is being taken off Boxee’s available content. No one is happy about the decision, but Jason Kilar’s approach to the situation is commendable. I get the impression that he realizes having to do this is as boneheaded as we all think it is.
A year ago, I hosted a panel on 4G. Back then, no one was really talking about it except for a select few, but now we’re beginning to see some action. Verizon Wireless chose Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent as network vendors ...

Here, if it were needed, is proof that the TV companies hate you. It also shows us just how stupid they are, desperate to hang on to a tired, fraying business model where they choose where and when you can watch TV and movies.
