Quibi, the mobile-only streaming service with TV episodes in 10 minutes or less, debuted on Monday, but didn't top the download charts.
The Quibi app was installed by 300,000 users in its first day across Apple and Android platforms in the US and Canada, according to mobile analytics company Sensor Tower.
For comparison, the Disney Plus mobile app was installed 4 million times in North America on its launch day in November, according to Sensor Tower data. Quibi's downloads are just 7.5% of that. Quibi is ahead of HBO Now's first-day installs, though. That app was installed 45,000 times...
Confinement oblige, les concerts organisés « à la maison » par des artistes se multiplient. Elton John, Mariah Carey ou encore le groupe OneRepublic s'en sont récemment donné à cœur joie.
Le succès de ces concerts a donné l'idée à Global Citizen et l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) d'organiser un grand concert en ligne afin de récolter des fonds pour lutter contre le COVID-19 et soutenir les personnels soignants à travers le monde.

Google, Apple, HP, Microsoft, and Amazon all say that they started in garages.
Now, they are some of the most valuable companies in the world and are worth billions.
The idea of starting in a garage has taken on a mythic status, to the point where some founders intentionally want to be able to say that they did it, too.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Some of the most legendary companies in Silicon Valley famously started in garages. A few scrappy guys with a genius idea working out of a garage has become essential to the stories told about these companies, and even the stories the companies tell about themselves.
The Garage Beginning has become an essential, almost cliché, part of a tech company's story. Fast Company called the startup garage "more than just a part of Silicon Valley's folklore; it has transformed into an image, an exportable idea ... the architectural symbol that would attract the right venture capital...

Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos says that all of the streaming service’s “productions around the world are shut down” because of the coronavirus pandemic, which he calls “a massive disruption.”
“It’s unprecedented in history,” Sarandos told CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday.
Even as usage of their service has increased from millions of people worldwide staying home on lockdown, Netflix is still navigating the coronavirus crisis.
He noted that because Netflix plans “pretty far ahead” on developing new shows, the service’s release schedule is set for the next several months. He said that the challenge will come later in the year, as shows and films that were in production for release in late 2020 have been put on pause due to the ongoing pandemic...

NBCUniversal -- which comprises TV property NBC as well as film studio Universal Pictures -- is getting out of the Snapchat business.
As first spotted by The Hollywood Reporter, in a 10-K filing by parent company Comcast from Jan. 31, the media conglomerate sold its entire $500 million stake in Snapchat parent company Snap. NBCU first announced that it was investing half a billion dollars into Snap three years ago, as the company was going public, amid other investments by NBCU into digital properties BuzzFeed and Vox.
The Reporter reports that the sale likely serves to offset the reported $2 billion that Comcast is deploying to launch its own streaming service, Peacock, as well as the $39 billion it spent to acquire British media and telecom conglomerate Sky. Per the filming, Comcast recorded a $293 million gain on the sale of its Snap equity in fiscal 2019, but lost $263 million on the investment in 2018, when Snap’s stock price fell in the wake of its IPO....
Led Zeppelin won a major copyright battle settling a dispute over whether the band’s iconic “Stairway to Heaven” song stole from Spirit’s 1968 song “Taurus.”
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury’s previous decision which found Led Zeppelin to be in the right in 2016. Monday’s decision follows an appellate court vote to re-do of the trial with a larger panel of judges.
The decision overturned the “inverse ratio rule” precedent, which has largely controlled copyright cases in the 9th circuit for the past 43 years.

In order to prove someone’s copyright was infringed upon, a plaintiff much prove that the two works are “substantially similar.” The rule says that the more evidence there is to show that the defendant had access to the plaintiff’s work before producing the material in question, the less similarity between...

Streaming persists as a major money maker for music’s fat-cats. Not only did it account for 80% of the entire music industry‘s profit in 2019, streaming collectively earned Universal, Sony, and Warner almost $1 million per hour — per fucking hour. In fact, booming subscriber bases led to increased streaming revenues for the industry’s “Big Three.” Music Business Worldwide reports they hit $3.73 billion, $2.4 billion, and $2.21 billion respectively, down from 2018, but still impressive. This solidifies services like Spotify as the primary revenue driver for Big Music; a market now larger than the entire US recorded music market just two years…

Netflix has been accused of funneling as much as $430M of its international profits into tax havens, while at the same time receiving more than a $1M in tax relief in the UK. A report by British think-tank Tax Watch said that, like other major tech companies including Google and Amazon, “there is little doubt ...
Private equity firm KKR just raised $2.2 billion to invest in fast-growing tech companies and it will now hunt for deals in regions far beyond Silicon Valley.
Dave Welsh, a KKR exec leading its technology media and telecom growth equity unit, said that it would seek investments in areas such as Florida, the greater Washington, D.C., area and Atlanta, as well as the Rocky Mountain region in Colorado and other regions throughout the Midwest.
The willingness to go far and wide points to how competition for the best investments across the private equity spectrum is getting stiffer, and more PE firms are getting creative with how they deploy their capital — seeking smaller, including minority, investments.

In just over two years, Scott Stuber, Netflix's vice president of film, has overseen the biggest steps the streaming company has taken to become a major player in the movie business.
From the success of "Roma" last year at the Oscars to its nominees this year — including "The Irishman," "The Two Popes," and "Marriage Story" — the company could have a big Academy Awards.
That's thanks to Stuber's deep ties in the industry, which have helped bring in big stars and curb the anxieties of movie-theater owners.
Business Insider spoke with Netflix insiders, analysts, and producers to profile one of the streamer's most important executives.

With Tesla shares on something of a historic run, the company earlier today became the most valuable car company the US has ever seen. This is something of a remarkable achievement given all of the turmoil Tesla has found itself in over the past few years. From a seemingly endless number of production problems to a handful of controversies involving Elon Musk, Tesla has impressively moved past all that in a relatively short period of time.
Two and a half months ago, Tesla shares were trading at $254. Today, Tesla shares hit the $470 threshold for the first time in history. All told, Tesla shares have jumped by upwards of 85% in just a few weeks. As it stands now, Tesla's market cap hovers around $84.3 billion, giving the EV maker a valuation that is higher than even Ford was at the height of its popularity.
All the more impressive, Tesla's valuation today is now just $2 billion shy of Ford and GM's market cap combined...

Disney+ has been available for only a month and the streaming service is already is a huge success for Disney. Not only do you get access to plenty of new and old Disney shows, but the Disney+ subscription is actually cheaper than any of Disney's rivals. For $6.99, you get support for four simultaneous Disney+ streams that go up to 4K UHD quality, depending on the show. Netflix’s cheapest plan ($8.99) only supports streaming SD shows to a single device at a time. If you pay for a full year of Disney+ access, the monthly cost goes down to $5.83. It’s no wonder that more than 10 million people subscribed to Disney+ at launch, with many of them having taken advantage of even cheaper pre-release deals. And that number may hit 20 million by the end of the year, according to recent estimates.
All that is apparently enough to scare Netflix into finding better ways to compete against its biggest rival to date. And that includes testing new membership plans that would reduce the...
