Which is exactly as I predicted, Craig. You have multiple sources competing
with the same content, just as you do in supermarkets. The sources will
differentiate themselves, to appeal to different tastes and price points, but
that does not mean that they can only compete on the basis of original content
exclusive to themselves.

An example that has existed for years already is Hulu vs the TV networks' own
FOTI sites. Same content on both sites. (I've had to use the Hulu site on
multiple occasions, when the network's own site was misbehaving. As I said
before, Hulu seems to be run by real professionals.)
