    Kevin Spacey, giving the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival, urges TV channels to give viewers control. He points to Netflix's House of Cards release as evidence that audiences want to watch on their own terms.

    HN cites it in streaming and piracy threads as an argument that giving viewers control is how to compete.

    1. @znowiOct 2013· in “IsoHunt to Shut Down as Part of Settlement With Studios”

      MPAA doesn't get it. Costly lobbying and crushing lawsuits is not how you defeat piracy. This is how you do it: this video

    2. @PanManSep 2013· in “Why Netflix should buy AMC”

      In this talk this video he explains the series itself doesn't work well in a pilot: He wanted long story lines, and multiple complex characters, both of which are impossible in a pilot.
