Copyright Protection laws permits the owner of the copyright in a literary or artistic work to prevent that work from being copied, broadcast or communicated to the public by cable television. The copyright owner can then license other parties to use the work on either an exclusive or a non-exclusive basis.
All the changes we make to content in the Cox On Demand Freezone are dictated by the broadcast network or company that owns the content.
For example, when FEARnet was added to the Freezone, it was not initially tethered to a specific subscription or channel package (per our agreement with FEARnet.) Once the FEARnet channel was officially launched and added to the Cox channel lineup, FEARnet can dictate to us how they want their content made available.
I apologize that the changes are frustrating. Every cable television and satellite TV company abides by the same laws.
