    TBS.com: You've driven me to pirating

    Picture_1

    Partnerships between content providers and companies are great, except when those partnerships limit your possible consumers.  As in the case of TBS.  TBS, all I want to do is watch an episode of Seinfeld.  I'll even watch ads, that's fine.  Even full commercial breaks, as long as I can watch the episode on-demand.  You're able to stream shows to my cell phone, but you can't let me watch shows on my Macintosh!

    How does this help anyone?  I'm not going to switch to Windows to use your website.  I'm more likely to download Bittorrent, or watch Seinfeld on Justin.tv or some asian download mirror.  

    You've made a silly decision to partner with Microsoft for your online streaming, and your implementation of this has been unwise. Instead of merely advertising Microsoft, which would be fine, you've decided to limit your consumers.

    Instead, you're just driving them away.

    My name is Joshua Seek. I am pursuing a degree in sustainable business management and I'm interested in urban development. I also am a part of the emerging conversations on spirituality. I'll be writing on these conversations, as well as urban development and transportation issues, and random things that interest me.
