You sir, are wrong.
Hulu did not start as a piracy website. it was started as an ANTI piracy website... you might be confused with Napster, which is music.
Furthermore, it was started by major broadcasting networks who had already owned the rights to the stations being streamed.
" Hulu was started as a way to combat digital piracy, and has actually been able to slow down piracy of TV shows by offering free content on the site, albeit with commercials.

Hulu is a joint venture of NBCUniversal Television Group ( Comcast ), [5] Fox Broadcasting Company ( 21st Century Fox ) and Disney–ABC Television Group ( The Walt Disney Company ), [6] with funding by Providence Equity Partners , the owner of Newport Television , which made a US$ 100 million equity investment and received a 10% stake. [7] In October 2012, Providence sold its 10% stake in Hulu. [8]
The Hulu venture was announced in March 2007 with AOL, MSN, Facebook, Comcast, Myspace and Yahoo! planned as "initial distribution partners". Jason Kilar was named the CEO in June 2007. [ 10] [ 11] The name Hulu was chosen in late August 2007, when the website went live, with an announcement only and no content. It invited users to leave their email addresses for the upcoming beta test . [ 12] In October, Hulu began the private beta testing by invitation, and later allowed users to invite friends. [ 13] Hulu launched for public access in the United States on March 12, 2008. [ 4] The first product to launch was the HULU Syndication network, which was designed and developed by the NBCUniversal team from New York, on October 29, 2007, followed by the Hulu.com destinations site.
Do you honestly believe that Alki David has more backing (when it comes to the entertainment industry) than major television stations?
