Hulu Going Over Seas To You-lu

Posted by on May 7, 2009 | 6 Comments

huluWell I’ll be…looks as if Hulu is about to start branching out a bit into new markets such as the UK. This not only means good things for those potential viewers in the UK, but new opportunities for advertisers looking to make an impact on a UK audience. Clearly, new ad opportunities will be made available once all of this internationalization goes through.

What will be interesting I think, is whether or not there will be some US shows blacked out over seas while allowing others through. I only say this as I know US networks still have their figures very much plugged into what Hulu does and doesn’t do.

One thing I discovered today after mentioning to my wife that it looks as if Grey’s Anatomy has come to Hulu. At this point, it clearly still sucks as it is continuing to limit its users with ABC’s lamest error message ever. At least Hulu has never done this to Linux users.

    We live in the USA Virgin Islands and Hulu won’t allow us to view the shows. It states we are not USA Citizens.

    How asshat is that?

    Hackers are much needed element in our society today just as the heroes of the revolutionary war were needed back in their day – Hackers do a fantastic job of upsetting the establishment and in a world where law enforcement personnel skills and technologies are lagging behind, a little upheaval from the hacking community is a must – Hackers force law enforcement officers to catch up with the times so that the next time a hacker tries to have a little fun the law enforcement officers – can do a back trace and get root on his computer. Bottom line hackers give way to growth in law enforcement for the better :) – Hack the Planet!!!

    Ron…you sir, are about as intelligent as a $2 smoothie. Hackers are a complete necessity. If not for them, security wouldn’t even be a thought. Now imagine, if you will. a bank that never locks up the money. Would you bank there? This is what the role of all criminals are, to make us think twice about doing something completely and utterly foolish! Aside from what Blake is saying about law enforcement, corporations need to start thinking about security as a NECESSARY cost. Hacktivists like Anonymous and LulzSec are NOT the problem. They are the alarm clock ringing in your ear telling you to wake up and realize that you need to protect your data better. If not for them, the real underground, organized crime families that have moved into cyber-crime for one, would be able to walk into any company, steal there information and instead of broadcasting it, they wouldn’t say a word this way they can go back for more later. The blasting of peoples weak security forces accountability onto corporations and companies because i can tell you that only about 10% of all hacks are ever reported. No company wants to report it let alone do anything about it.
