Reports Bercovici:

Speaking last night at an Internet Week event sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Miller, News Corp.'s newly-installed chief digital officer, said he envisions a future where at least some of the TV shows and movies on Hulu, the premium video site co-owned by News Corp. (NWS), NBC Universal and Disney (DIS), are available only to subscribers.

Bercovici also quoted Miller as saying that the issue could come up as soon as Monday at a Hulu board meeting, though it's not not on the agenda at present. He also closed by saying, "I don't see why over time that shouldn't happen."

Oh well, we suppose that moderately web savvy people will be forced to find ways to illegally circumvent paying for Hulu's content on the internet, just like they always do with everything else they don't feel like paying for.

"Imagine parties every night until 4 in the morning when you're trying to sleep just eight feet away in the house next door," said Councilman Andy Stern, who sponsored the new ordinance.

"These weren't just people having a good time; they were commercial enterprises in residential areas that would be operating 24/7 during the summer months." [...]

The new ordinance is expected to go into effect April 24, pending final approval.

Longtime locals are likely breathing a sigh of relief that they won't again have to run into some supporting player from The Hills, slapping them on the back at the Country Mart and telling them, "Yo—D-Gef! What is up, my man? You gotta swing by the 'Roid tonight. I'm spinning ambient skull-hop into the early morning hours and Linz is making her killer nachos. It'll be off da chains!" before skipping off to their Source-branded Hummer and peeling onto the PCH.
