Cohen described Tuesday’s news as “building mutual trust” with Hollywood, but said the next step would be to “work with the motion picture industry to make as many movies available online as possible.”
“We have no content-distribution deals at this time. But there will be in the future,” Cohen said in an interview Tuesday. “Not tomorrow, but soon.”
How soon? “Months, not years,” he said.
