At first glance, it looks preordained that the DOJ will sue on antitrust grounds. Or maybe Prime Video has grown sufficiently over the years so that Warner + Fox + Disney are now small enough to attempt something like this?

In any case, I don’t think it’s a way to improve user experience in a streaming world: it’s a pretty transparent attempt at improving bargaining power within rights negotiations…

Is this the thing that will finally get channels to stop pushing sports subscriptions, clips, fake news at me? So I can enjoy the content I choose?

Then I'm all for it.

This probably kills linear tv.
