    • Zucker is a moron. Making $15 million by doing nothing extra is a good amount of money. He should be happy that people paid $1.99 for an episode of his networks shows when they could watch it free on TiVo or standard television.

      He's losing out on an already solidified platform for distributing music, movies, television shows, and podcasts via the internet. iTunes is the de-facto standard. Parents give their kids allowances, people are buying gift cards left and right. Why would you want to spit on a service that was doing nothing but good for your company?

    • Come on Zucker! It's only the consumer who's hurting because of this little feud! Put The Office back on iTunes, 'cause I only Tivo it now and fast forward past your only other form of revenue.
