Re: Content is king - Amazon Prime

Wow. It's supposed to be easy to use. Still doesn't work with Firefox though.

Re: End of the TV Licence

"Also doesn't the Beeb need to actually stop outsourcing, build quality in house production teams & writers to have good content?"

I'm sure they would like to but the government put a stop to that.

Re: Content is king

"Netflix don't really produce anything" Apart from the close to 200 original Netflix produced series (126 in 2016 alone), and close to a hundred more 'one offs' and collaborations with other producers.

As for the BBC's content, of course opinion is subjective but the viewing figures suggest not everyone agrees with you.

No

"The decision [in 2009] forced the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 to each create their own apps"

Not it didn't. iPlayer was up and running at the end of 2007. ITV Player at the end of 2008. 4OD launched in 2006.

Re: Is this why...

It not about winning the war. It's about FACT (a private registered, for profit company) paying the bills. And they are going to struggle now. The MPA provided 50% of their funding. It's now gone.

Re: Lumen Database

Because the database doesn't have anywhere near all of them, not even close. It never did.

"It isn't even possible to establish whether there ever was a DMCA notice, let alone – if there was – who sent it" Well, this replacing the video would suggest otherwise - "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and its affiliates"

No. But home cooking is killing restaurants. And killing people if you don't cook the chicken through.

You should install smart meters even if they're dumb, says flack

Jon Jones 73

"Smart meters are being touted as a means of allowing consumers to switch providers"

You can already do that. It's quite simple.

"and help people to reduce their energy consumption"

The only way to reduce your energy consumption is to use less energy, no meter can help you do that any better than just looking at your bill.

"and switch their usage away from peak times"

What you mean those peak times when people are actually at home rather than at work?

EU court: Linking to pirated stuff doesn't breach copyright... except when it does

Jon Jones 73

"...since it meant EU works were not protected by copyright in the EU" That's not true though. Of course EU works have copyright protection in the EU.
