The MacJury takes the case of on-demand content delivery options, discussing the announcements of a NetFlix set-top box, the return of the TiVo lifetime service agreement, Amazon Unbox, the Apple TV, the iTunes Store and Adobe TV. Selection, price, speed, format and “happy cash” are all placed into evidence as the MacJury finds the studios guilty of manipulating content distribution, but the jury is still out on which options will find favor with consumers of all sophistication levels.
