That's the key—I think video content providers are not going easily into this new world. I'm sure Rdio/Vdio, Spotify, and others would love to provide a similar service to how music offerings work today, but the content providers will not have anything to do with it.
It's really sad. So shortsighted. The first company to do this right will bring media into the future and revolutionize the industry. The profits to be had are insane, and they're going down the drain.
The music industry is finally starting to get it, even if they are being dragged kicking and screaming by Rdio, Spotify, iTunes, etc. But still, these are all great services that are giving customers what they want when they want it. I just hope people like Netflix, Hulu and now Vdio will do the same thing for movie and TV content.
