Over at paidcontent.org, I found an article indicating that Amazon.com had purchased IMDB a while back and promised to make video available for free online. Well, it’s happened. IMDB now hosts tons of movie and TV database information, and free video. At least where TV shows are concerned, if they host it, it’s the full episode presented with limited commercial interruptions hosted by Hulu.
Gotta say, it’s pretty astounding the changes going on in the media these days. Revolutionary, even. But, if you stop to consider what the Writer’s Strike was all about (royalties for material shown online), I’m glad to see that issue was worked out, because I just might find myself watching less and less programming on the TV and watching more of it on-demand and online.
