Bertelsmann Looking At Deal With RecordTV
from the scooping-up-the-small-guys dept
Bertelsmann is apparently talking to RecordTV about working together to provide an internet based VCR. This is, of course, exactly what RecordTV was doing originally (for fun), before everyone decided to sue them. I think it's very interesting that Bertelsmann is so actively making deals with these companies that everyone is suing. While there is still the question of execution (and are they just doing this to kill these companies), my gut feeling is that they're actually making some pretty smart moves. Every time I hear Bertelsmann's CEO talk, I get the feeling he actually might get it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
