And this is true... but with one caveat. Offering a product for free, and offering a similar product at $24.99 for a monthly subscription are two extreme opposites of the spectrum. There's a middle-ground in which people will part with their money, because searching for the free stuff - and risking the security of their machine (viruses, trojans, Active-X exploits, etc) is too much of a pain in the ass to save a few bucks.
Hulu Premium is now priced at $7.99 / month.
I think that price is the future of the recurring model.
