Apple plays a long game, and given the financial disaster of traditional media groups, they could be long-term winners. It's simply waiting until most of the competition has no more money to compete. It's "very Apple" to do that, by the way.

I was reading a news story this week that Google may be paying Apple $30 billion annually to simply keep Google as the default search in Safari and a few other simple deals. That alone represents annual revenue for WBD and Paramount. It's a money machine that will wait for others to fail, without any worries. Lucky for them.
