Less understandable is HBO going after non-pirate fans, such as a GoT viewing party at a local Bronx watering hole. HBO recently sent a cease and desist letter to the owners of Videology bar in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg, asking them to stop their Game of Thrones weekly viewing parties.
Not that it matters from a story point of view, but Williamsburg is in Brooklyn, not the Bronx. As it says in the quoted section of the article...
I carry this (have been for ~6 months), with 5 keys in the carrier, plus my car key outside, because of the remote on the key itself. Keeps my keys from jingling or sticking me in my pocket. More compact, and keeps them from scratching my phone screen, on the occasions that I put them into the same pocket.
Apple also does not allow code that has been written for other platforms. So, if I have an app I have written for Android or Windows, and want to publish it for iPhone/iPad, I have to redevelop from scratch. Technically, code converters break the developer agreements.
This is just a list of stuff that should have come into the public domain this year. I wonder what the entire list of items looks like, added together with all previous years, of works that are still locked up.
These items go all the way back to the 20s or 30s, right?
Maybe, just maybe, one of these days the legacy entertainment players will get the message that innovators and entrepreneurs aren't the enemy. They're the ones providing Hollywood (and music and other industries) with all the tools to better serve the market.
What are the chances of that, or: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
There's another reason Ratings are not useful for Netflix
One major reason is that ratings look at who is watching a specific show when displayed at a specific time. Netflix's model lets people watch at their pace and time. You don't know when the eyeballs are coming....
My guess is that the contract is not at the time you receive the award, but when you sign up with the academy (if you don't you are not eligible for awards...)
I am not sure this is true, but the real fact is that they apparently knew it was on eBay when the auction was still live. If they wanted it that badly, why didn't they just outbid everyone?
Nielsen reports on trends by comparing their current data to their own data from previous years. Their trending data is going to be off, because they are already far behind the curve.
I don't disagree, but I feel like it's more that they are afraid of losing control. Losing control is the same to them as losing power. Losing power is the same to them as losing money.
Actually, "Losing Power" is the same to them as DYING in their heads....
I find it interesting that there are laws against junk mail in electronic form, but when someone tries to make it so the same thing in physical form is avoidable, folks have a caniption...
Now, if you're not the MPAA and so tied up and confused by unauthorized access, you might look at that information and realize that putting it on AMC's website was probably the mistake. That's not where people look for stuff these days. Yes, they made it free, but they didn't make it convenient, meaning they didn't put it in a form that some portion of consumers want, and watching it directly on AMC's website appears to take a large group out of their natural flow.
The problem with having to go to the station's websites for me is that I can't use whatever device I want. My Android devices (tablet, phone, and Google TV), all show that I cannot access it with that device, but need my computer. I subscribe to 3 popular paid streaming services... PICK ONE!
