Netflix Trying to Make Peace with Wary Studios for More Streaming Content
,----[ Quote ]
| Things are looking tough for Netflix. The
| online rental service is trying to
| convince Hollywood studios to sell them
| the rights to more video content for their
| âWatch Instantlyâ streaming offering, but
| many studios still seem to be mad about
| Netflixâs deal with Starz last year. The
| Starz deal, which in one fell swoop added
| around 2,500 titles for streaming, allowed
| Netflix to gain access to newer Disney and
| Sony movies without asking for permission
| from the studios.

Author Robin Sloan Offers Up Money To Fans For Good Remix Ideas
,----[ Quote ]
| It's yet another cool way of connecting
| with fans, and going explicitly against
| what copyright allows. It's explicitly
| encouraging people to copy his work and
| even offering money to them if they do a
| good job.

Sarkozy's cronies make song and dance of it
,----[ Quote ]
| The video is not only an unwanted internet
| triumph â it has got the Jeunes Populaires into
| legal hot water. The group obtained permission
| to use the song, written and recorded by the
| French-Canadians Luc Plamondon and Christian St-
| Roch in 1976. By mistake, the video used another
| version, recorded recently by a Quebec singer,
| Marie-Mai. Legal negotiations are in progess.
