hulu changes Terms of Service

while reading through it I noticed immediately that section 4 was updated, maybe those rumours we heard last month are about to come true

Updated hulu ToS wrote:

4. PAYMENTS
Access to the Hulu Site and use of the Hulu Services is free. If we feel it is appropriate to charge for certain premium Hulu Services, we will, of course, notify you. You then will have an opportunity not to use such premium Hulu Services if you are not interested in paying for them. You are responsible for any costs you incur to access the internet.

Charging extra for HD content, maybe.

If they would sell a box that would let me watch 1080p streaming on-demand TV with no commercials from all the major networks (broadcast and cable) they could pretty much name their price and I'd pay it.

Me too. That would be great.

I mentioned rumors from credible sources about Hulu shifting to paid content.

I doubt streaming 1080p will happen anytime soon, few have the bandwidth.

Content will now be viewable by Canadian web surfers, as part of Hulu's Canada Day special. Oh never mind, it's now July 2.

Re: hulu changes Terms of Service

It only took 3 months to make public what everyone already knew. Dumb asses are going to loose so much money when everyone stops using their service by the end of 2010.
