When News Turns Comedic, Comedy Turns to News [view article]
In olden days, the court jester was the only one in the king's court who could get away with criticizing the king. Some things don't change.And as Jon Stewart himself has pointed out, in order to lampoon the news, they first have to be sure their audience understands the news. Back when the Valerie Plame case first hit the news, the absolute best news description of what happened and why it was an issue came from the Daily Show, as they did a very quick, very concise description of what had happened and what it meant, and then started riffing on it from there. It was short, simple, and easy to understand, which is what made it so brilliant. Reply

Indeed, thanks. Comedy seems less controlled by interests. Maybe that is my illusion. ReplyVideo Consumption: TV and Theaters Down, Online Up [view article]
Video on the internet is just as bad as TV. Watch 10 min. on video to get 20 sec. of news. I only read text which can be skimmed. ReplyThe Wind
Video Consumption: TV and Theaters Down, Online Up [view article]
I got rid of my tv about 10 years ago. Now I survive with just the internet - I can read the news online, gather stock information, and I don't have to settle for the media idiocy. ReplyGoogle vs. Viacom: Google's Strategy [view article]
Its ridiculous for Viacom to challenge google on you tube. File sharing and content belongs to the users of the world wide web. Whether some institutions like it or not, free access to content helps small artists and levels the playing field. Whatever money they claim they're losing is nothing more than a market correction as it's become fair only at the expense of people with too much money and perverbial producers of crap. ReplyGoogle vs. Viacom: Google's Strategy [view article]
"The issue for the judge–assuming this ongoing spat gets before a jury–will be to decide who creates YouTube’s content"I doubt that. I think that everyone knows who creates the content in question. It's Viacom.
The question is what are Google's obligations under DCMA as far as preventing the content from getting on Youtube in the first place. Per the DCMA, you don't need to do anything to prevent someone from posting copyrighted material. You just need to take it down once you get informed of the problem.
What Viacom will argue is that with so many different users uploading their shows, Google must do more than just take them down after they find them. Otherwise Google is effectively making money off Viacom's content. Reply

Google vs. Viacom: Google's Strategy [view article]
Intellectual copyrights should be protected. Mashups are parasites on original creations - they’re bloodsuckers. It’s ironic that people feel that it’s okay to steal from original content creators, because those creators are almost always the poorest among us. But we’ve always raped our artists (that’s what they’re here for). Viacom is only a figurehead on this issue. ReplyViacom / Google Battle Over YouTube Bears Enormous Significance [view article]
this is simply a way for Vacom to profit from litigation........... ReplyMarvel's Iron Man Takes Off - and So Does Its Stock [view article]
Marvel is on a roll!! Great move to acquire their own studio and take charge of producing movies about the Marvel characters. I think they are over looking way too many characters and plots. For instance, I could see Luke Cage and Morbius being introduced in a SpiderMan follow up. I am glad to see the number of films coming out. I would urge Marvel to also consider films straight to video or pay perview. I am a Marvel fan and shareholder, so all is well!!! ReplyThe Healthy Side of the Media Business [view article]

Correcting a myth - regarding GM and Toyota Motor (TM).Many believe that GM is no. 1 globally as recently published it outsold Toyota by 1000 or 3000 cars in 2007.
In reality, GM's revenue was $181B in 2007 (01/2007-12/2007) down considerably on YOY. Toyota's revenue was $252B in FY2007 (04/2007-03/2008) up nearly 10%.
It is high time the U.S. auto industry started dealing with the harsh reality before it is too late. Hype and spin can go just so far...

It amazes me how the folks on CNN and other TV channels and the bloggers on SeekingAlpha can give advice with so little data to back it up.BS is free. Those folks who believe the BS will get fleeced. Investing smartly takes a lot of hard work. You will not learn how to invest successfully by watching television. Reply

it was nice to see MVL pop on great Iron Man box office numbers, but it will be interesting to see how it reacts to the new Hulk movie next month, as the reviews are not nearly as positive on that. Reply
