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.
