CBS blocks Time Warner Cable customers from accessing online content

After Time Warner Cable dropped CBS and Showtime from its lineup on Friday, CBS has retaliated by blocking TWC's Internet customers from accessing online content on CBS.com.

Scum.

If CBS blocks the Big Brother feeds also, they will be dead to me. Corporate greed and as usual, customers are the losers.

CBS blocks Time Warner Cable customers from accessing online content

CBS statement:

If Time Warner Cable is a customer’s internet service provider, then their access to CBS full episode content via online and mobile platforms has been suspended as a result of Time Warner Cable’s decision to drop CBS and Showtime from their market. As soon as CBS is restored on Time Warner Cable systems in affected markets, that content will be accessible again.

Time Warner statement:

CBS has shown utter lack of regard for consumers by blocking Time Warner Cable’s customers, including our high-speed data only customers, from accessing their shows on their free website. CBS enjoys the privilege of using public owned airwaves to deliver their programming – they should not be allowed to abuse that privilege.
