Hulu announces Hulu Plus. LA Times:
Under the proposal, Hulu would continue to provide for free the five most recent episodes of shows like Fox’s “Glee,” “ABC’s “Lost” or NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” But viewers who want to see additional episodes would pay $9.95 a month to access a more comprehensive selection, called Hulu Plus, these people said.
I skimmed the comments and it took about two seconds to remind myself of why I try to stay in my RSS reader and away from comments. Here’s a sample with my snarky thoughts:
Talk about greed!
Talk about business!
Why would the majority of people pay for a service to watch shows they can download illegally for free?
iTunes is doing alright charging for things people can download illegally.
Who on Earth would pay $10 per month for old episodes of shows?
People who want to watch them.
P.S. I love that they chose an Arrested Development screenshot.

I was saying they aren’t greedy, they’re just doing business. Sounds like they’re offering the same things for free (5 running episodes) but giving the option to pay for more stuff.
