Because we ’re all basically pawns when it comes to billion dollar companies fighting over dollars , CBS has just impede Time Warner Cable client from watching any video recording on CBS.com . essentially , if you ’re a TWC customer and head to CBS.com , alternatively of CBS video , you ’ll see anti - Time Warner Cable ad . Classy .
There ’s actually case law for using the cyberspace as a bargaining chip in negotions . Back in 2010 when FOX was combat with Cablevision ( not unlike how CBS is battling with TWC ) , FOX not only foreclose Cablevision client from watching picture on FOX.combut also veto them from using Hulu . That ’s pretty rough .

Usually , these negotiations get resolve before blackouts like this happen but it ’s quite obvious that CBS and Time Warner Cable have some serious issues to cipher out .
