Apple has won the perception battle with NBC basically because how Apple managed the situation. Now is very difficult for NBC to change how greedy people consider it and how overturn the media, more than 95% of the comments of digg.com and news elsewhere considered a childish move for NBC to try to take more money from its viewers for programs you can record in Tivo or download from BitTorrent sites.Maybe the Apple has learned how to manage those greedy executives and punch them where it hurts.

For now the battle is over, Apple has won the PR blitz, NBC, maybe HULU helps you go up in the network rank. You lose The Aprentice and now you lose a Master (Apple) and many users that will Tivo your programs, those that deserve to be tivo.
