Regulators and investors are behind the curve in regard to entertainment technology. Big business is taking advantage of everything not written into an ironclad contract.

Their big move upcoming is offloading as much as they can from D+ to Hulu, because if the contract only discusses streaming on D+ than there are no royalties to pay through Hulu.
