Let me stop you right there. If I describe where something that is copyrighted is and you go view this copyrighted material, I fail to see how that's infringement. Sure, hotlinking is rude and if you're using it inline with a page, then it can be highly disingenuious as to the source, but you're still not republishing.
If Coca-Cola reprints your copyrighted material, then they've created a copy, and not according to their rights, so it's infringement. If they simply point back to your site for the image, then it's not. Very simple.
For the time being; however, Hulu is doing far more good than harm by having a model that basically mirrors OTA broadcast. If they decide to narrowband it and make people pay, they'll flock back to the torrent sites in no time.
I watch a lot of my shows on Netflix, and I don't mind paying because I don't have to watch commercials, and I can pause/rewind/fast forward as I see fit.

He was, but somehow, the rest of the guys in the video had to do the same think as Mikey without his magic.

Or you can just shorten it to:
"You must pay us"
seems regardless of whether or not you play, you pay! :)
Good times for all

Re: (as Jebrew)
I believe they have that model. It's called cable.
