“Copyright” protects your wording, to the extent that it is an original creative work. It doesn’t protect the information you have just shared on a public website. Anyone can repeat the information you’ve posted here wherever they like and you have no remedy in law to stop them.

You obviously don’t have a clue what copyright is, or about copyright law, so yes, sticking copyright notices on your posts in bold type makes you look daft. As does pretending you’re a “we”, but that’s another issue entirely.

They need to get their pricing down.
It's not the same content though is it. As someone pointed out above, Disney goes for a certain stream of the audience, albeit a large one.

Different services with different content will be worth different amounts to different people.

So true, I have pretty sure I have made this comment in the past and been shot down in flames!

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

With Netflix shares slipping 3.3% so far today I don't think the market is too enthusiastic about the results vs expectations.

Shelling out billions more in content to make marginal gains in North America but more significant gains in Latin America/Asia Pacific is a classic example of the law of diminishing returns.

Chris whether you think this or not i'm not sure why it annoys you so much? Media boy is an excellent poster and if he wants to say "copyright" due to a belief it'll stop his post being put elsewhere does that really impact the rest of us?

Also as a member of the cable forum team is it really appropriate to send this message ans call someone "daft"?

Now to get my post back on track. What are the odds of the next big streaming service coming to virgin media? Disney? Now tv? WWE network? Or any other?

Really? Have you never read any of Mick or Paul’s posts on here?

Believe me if I’d wanted to put the boot in, “daft” is not the word I’d have used. And yes, occasional comments about the accuracy of people’s posts is fair game, whether made by team or otherwise, as long as it doesn’t derail the thread. Claims of copyright over anything posted on a public web forum are dubious in the extreme. It does no harm to say so, and may help prevent users embarrassing themselves elsewhere.

On which note.

You are posting news or information that is freely available online. You adding that word means nothing, so yes it is daft. The same way you use the term us, when in fact it is just you, a singular person.

I’m confused about britbox. I thought it was just for people outside the Uk to watch bbc and itv shows? I would have thought all these bbc shows and itv shows are on Netflix, prime, iPlayer and itv play ?

Or are we literally paying the same price as other subscribers even though we paid our license fee for the bbc stuff already...

Britbox is supposed to become the ultimate box set library of UK-produced tv entertainment. Stuff that is currently on other services, like Netflix, is likely to disappear from there and go Britbox-exclusive in the long run. The app was available at launch on various devices in the UK including (I think) any Samsung smart tv from series 7 onwards (so less than about 3 years old). It’s available for mine but I’m not going to add it unless I decide to give it a try (which I might, when I foresee a long spell of bingeing ... I quite fancy going through all that classic Doctor Who).

But anyway, aside from the fact that a lot of the material on Britbox wasn’t ever shown on the BBC (ITV is the co-owner), it is a common misconception that the TV licence grants UK TV viewers rights in perpetuity to BBC content. This has never been the case. The BBC doesn’t even own a lot of supposedly BBC shows, and won’t be the sole beneficiary of slices of the subscription pie for much of the stuff they originally broadcast. Often the BBC receives pitches from third parties for their drama ideas, and in return for commissioning them, the BBC gets a say in the creative development of the show and first run rights. After that the production company usually gets to sell overseas and on blu ray.

Britbox is in uk now in a joint venture between itv, bbc and Channel 5. Channel 4 stuff is rumoured to be arriving soon.
As Chris said there is a lot of content on there that was never aired.

In my opinion yes, read a post the other day which pointed out that you can watch sky sports on a tablet abroad but cannot watch BBC - who's stupid idea is that?

I assume if you subscribe to Britbox you'll be able to watch that in Europe while on holiday.
