For profit content provider: A company that produces content
that is then distributed by said provider.
Product: Television shows or Movies
This is not done in our society. The content provider can
produce a product that is distributed by someone else. When Sid and Marty krofft
released their shows a generation ago they were small time content providers selling
to either local or national distributor sites. To me this makes sense. But when
Fox (news corp.) or warner bros. collude together it is called monopoly,
especially when FCC does nothing to stop it. This laze fare attitude needs to
stop. How come, one may ask? Unless you live in a large market L.A or N.Y city
the local networks want to buy re-runs on the cheap. This harms the entire infrastructure
of our entertainment system. NBC (Comcast) is already building new markets by
producing product overseas and having it redistributed locally through a
third-party called Funimation. They quite frankly make us watch garbage on
there local affiliates, while spending money to ruin another nations
entertainment platform. It is that apathic attitude we have in our culture that
allows this garbage to continue.
