Freedom’s Just Another Word For Grainy, Low Quality Content

Business Insider is smart to run two opposing views on paid content and the cable industry side-by-side. One article is written by Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3--the leading television network for the internet generation--the other by Bill Gurley, a general partner at Benchmark Capital. Louderback's argument is the consumer will get what she wants thanks to the liberating power of the Internet. The internet is …
