What is on the horizon.



amazing read.

In the end instead of offering a better service to the people, the global giants will stick up our end while they grab our money.

This is nothing new, of course. As of March 2009, Youtube started blocking all music videos in Germany, because GEMA (the German equivalent to ASCAP and BMI) raised per-play rates over 1000 percent! Instead of ponying up the cash, which would have entailed Youtube losing money on every play, Youtube did the smart thing and simply implemented an across-the-board block. So now instead of getting less than they perhaps would have liked to, GEMA songwriters now get nothing. As aggravating as it is every time that damn message pops up, it feels me with a sense of pleasure to know that the big labels have screwed themselves yet again.

Frankly, I love it! Step by step, the major studios and labels are digging their own graves. Now they are prepared to jump in. When it all comes crashing down on them, we'll be the ones to throw the dirt in and stomp on it.

The local Walmart got their RedBox yanked.. not sure why.. but gone.



So we are down to one location within 25 miles.. hardly convenient. :)

One Hour Photo was awkward and that's being nice.

I've been reading a few comments on this issue from other news sites and wow, people are pissed.

Trying to be rational about it, how many people stream consistently AND get DVD's consistently? I imagined a vast majority did one or the other substantially more.

Streaming only, $7.99/month.
Streaming WITH DVD's, $9.99/month.

Those were the only two options... now the options are...
Streaming only, $7.99/month.
DVD's only, $7.99/month.
Streaming WITH DVD's, $15.98/month.


So if ya only did DVD's or only streaming, it's not a big deal, but if you're sitting at the couch every night, streaming and popping DVD's ... well first you have too much time on your hands and I'm jealous ... then your price goes from $9.99/month to $15.98/month. Which sucks, especially considering Sony movies are being removed (or have been) plus they are going to lose Starz movies middle of '12.



I only stream LEGALLY from Netflix. Mainly because I think by the time a DVD came to me, I'd have lost interest in watching the movie. Before this happened, I preferred to hit redbox for DVD's. That won't change.

Looks like Netflix is getting a little greedy. This decision could hurt their bottom line in the long run.

Bottom line: Netflix was way more popular than any of the studios though it would be, now that it's time to renew their deals Netflix will be paying more. In addition, there's increasing concern about how far ISPs are going to take bandwidth caps.

When the deals are renewed in early '12, that's when I expect another price jump.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
