Well..maybe..but I'm not really convinced of that either.
What I do find interesting is that the music industry has kind of left the TV world behind and has actually tried to stay ahead of the curve in terms of music videos (which are advertising). VEVO is free and Muchmusic is not..and, Muchmusic, has suffered because of it..but that doesn't mean that the music industry is necessarily suffering...
The problem is, as i see it, is the cable companies are living in an old business model, and, if they don't adapt, the NHL or NFL, or whoever, will eventually bypass them. Which may be why you are starting to see caps on the internet....just a guess.
