DISH Cheers Ruling on AutoHop, PrimeTime Anytime

Not so good when broadcasters start including Least Favored Nation clauses and pricing in their agreements with MVPDs. Someone has to pay all those high priced actors, producers and television studio salaries. If not the advertisers, then it's the viewers.

Although I agree, I can't say that I feel bad for the networks or the advertisers because I also believe the the viewer has a right to choose between watching and skipping the commercials.

Nothing keeping the networks from placing more products into content. If done right, product placement would be a better option. The viewer is not going to skip over parts of The Walking Dead just because they don't want to see a zombie drinking a Pepsi. :D

Aren't all Pepsi drinkers zombies? Or is that Coke? Ah who cares, they both taste like battery acid! :D
 
Dr Pepper is TX. Is TX not considered "south" in TX? It seems they'd have their own identity seperate from the "south".

"Hey y'all, we're not south, we're Texas!"
 
Reading more about the ruling it seems to have an ominous passage by the Judge. "AutoHop's functionality likely violate the RTC between DISH and Fox, and likely violate Fox's exclusive reproduction right under federal copyright laws"
