TiVo Wins Nod for Users to Share Digital
Show
08/04/2004 06:33 PM

TiVo Inc., maker of popular digital television recording devices, on Wednesday received approval for technology that would permit users to send copies of digital broadcast shows over the Internet to a limited number of friends.

The Federal Communications Commission voted to certify digital protections on TiVoToGo, which is not yet available but would enable a user to record and send a digital broadcast television show to up to nine others who have been registered on that person's service and has been given a key to see it. The approval came despite concerns by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Football League about the risks of unfettered distribution of copyrighted shows and airing regional games outside of their market.

"Each of these technologies has been exhaustively reviewed to ensure contention protection systems prevent the mass indiscriminate redistribution of digital television programming," said FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein. The FCC last year adopted rules to limit distribution of digital, over-the-air television programs over the Internet in an effort to prevent mass illegal copying and sharing, a problem plaguing the music industry.

There have been studies in the past that showed that TiVo (or similar DVR users) often can recall the commercials they've fast forwarded through. Now, Dave Pell from Davenetics points us to a new study that actually suggests DVR users see more commercials - even though they're just fast forwarding through them. Basically, the people most likely to have and use a DVR device are the same people who were likely to simply channel surf when commercial came on in the past - meaning they saw very few commercials. Now, however, while they may be fast forwarding through the commercials, they are still at least "seeing" them - and possibly getting some brand recognition. In fact, the survey suggests the net impact of advertising on DVR users may be positive. Of course, it might help if broadcasters and advertisers continued to look at more creative advertising solutions. As Dave suggests, "The first advertiser to shoot commercials in slow motion wins."

Tivo as digital hub?


Tivo as digital hub? 02/10/2004 02:47 AM
Om Malik thinks Tivo's purchase of a startup called Strangeberry signals its intention to become a hub for digital home entertainment.  Makes sense.  Strangeberry is apparently made up of ex-Sun people, and the idea of universal zero-configuration networking was a big element of Sun co-founder Bill Joy's Jini vision. 

Of course, all the major consumer PC vendors, most notably Gateway, Sony, and HP, have similar dreams, as do Apple, Microsoft, and your cable company.  This probably makes Tivo interesting acquisiton bait.  But for whom?  Tivo is built on Linux, so it probably isn't a fit for any of the Windows-centric companies.  Or for Apple, which has its own Rendezvous networking technology.

Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users


Nielsen Sees Gold In TiVo Users 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
It looks like TiVo is finally catching on. While Nielsen had planned to start including data on people using TiVo-like devices in 2006, they're now pushing that deadline up a year, as they've noticed that the TV-watching public is increasingly signing up for such services (thanks, in part, to various cable and satellite providers offering them with basic service). For the extra paranoid, Nielsen says they won't track things like whether or not people fast forward through commercials, but only whether or not the show was watched at a different time than it was originally broadcast. Still, it probably won't be long before they're tracking commercial skippers as well. So the question is, once the data on commercial skippers becomes public, what will happen? Will broadcasters demand changes in the technology (or the law!), or will they admit that it's time that they, themselves, changed how they present advertising (or, even, how they fund their operations)?

Report: some Napster users share

Report: some Napster users share
passwords to save money
04/09/2005 03:30 AM
Xeni Jardin: An article in the Register today reports that it is possible for more than one person to share a username/password simultaneously on Napster's digital music service, so they don't have to pay for separate accounts.
Over the past couple of days MusicAlly has run several tests, during which we were able to download and stream simultaneously from four separate computers across two separate Internet connections for good stretches of time. Our findings so far suggest this situation is the same whether we use a trial account, a paid-for credit card account or the £14.95 Napster To Go service. By comparison, several other Internet subscription services, including Real's Rhapsody, log the first user out automatically if a second user logs in using the same username and password.

Arguably the fact that one of the subsequent users could order one of Napster's paid-for permanent downloads, thus adding a charge to the original user's card, provides a small disincentive against sharing usernames and passwords. But Napster requires users to insert their credit card security number before making a major purchase, such as the upgrade from the £9.95 service to Napster To Go. What's more, the credit card numbers themselves are not exposed on the accounts page, so there's no danger of having your card details ripped off by someone with whom you're sharing the music service.

GIs in Iraq tote in digital pop culture

GIs in Iraq tote in digital pop culture
-- and share it
04/13/2004 12:53 PM
Fascinating piece in today's NYT about digital media sharing among enlisted personnel in Iraq. Would entertainment industry groups -- or at some point, our government -- prosecute these soldiers for piracy?
At the Kirkush Military Training Base in the eastern Iraqi desert less than 15 miles from the frontier with Iran, an hour's wait for a helicopter was spent listening to Marilyn Manson, Eminem and Shania Twain before the Black Hawk fired up its turbines and somebody back in the barracks, as if on cue and with a dark sense of irony, cranked up Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." The songs came from a European satellite music channel and a communal computer where 12.8 gigabites of tunes had been downloaded for sharing on MP3's. The rule was simple: Take some music, add some music. "Any time anybody on the team gets a new CD, they load it in, so we stay pretty current," said Sgt. Thomas R. Mena.

As the new CD from Tool blasted in the barracks, Sergeant Mena scrolled through the computerized music library, which ranged from Abba and AC/DC, through Limp Biskit and Metallica and on to Van Halen and ZZ Top. Emigres from West Africa who joined the Army for citizenship and career training arrived with the latest Nigerian pop CD's. Chinese-Americans hauled along hot Hong Kong video imports.
