It is bad practice. Read this article to see what I mean.
SnagFilms would never do something like this. We don’t need to in a “double bottom line” business.
Our fans and customers are our affiliates and viewers. We stream for free.
We support charities.
We have legitimate support via our fans donating pixels to a cause.
Note the CEO of Netflix talking about cable and that Netflix doesn’t have sports programming.
I own sports programming, Monumental Sports and Entertainment.
I own SnagFilms and indieWIRE.
Looks like we are well positioned for the future, eh?
I feel Monumental can take on a network such as MASN and cover many sports, Georgetown, Caps, Wizards, Virginia Tech, George Mason, it is my instict to think big, and it is my business
But I feel that is already in the five year plan of your new venture.
