As suspected the recent days, Music Spotify and Apple do not attend this event. While streaming, at least in its paid subscription forms, reports relatively much for the artists "blockbusters" as Adele, the aim of the maneuver is to maximize sales. "We love and respect Adele, as all its 24 million fans on Spotify. We hope it will give them the opportunity to enjoy '25' as they do for '19' and '21' very soon, "said the Swedish platform, in reference to the two previous albums Adele. She hopes to have the album "very soon". The other streaming platforms and the team of the singer did not react, but nothing seems to indicate that the singer could publish the album on a site Spotify competitor, the leader of this growing sector. The decision is the most significant for the streaming market from that of the American superstar Taylor Swift who had withdrawn all his catalog of Spotify in the release of the album "1989" a year ago.

Indeed, succession was ensured fairly quickly by the service called Stremio but he may only play a role of substitute against the phoenix rising from the ashes. The return of Popcorn, we owe it to various passionate developers. Indeed, the software is open source, anyone can go to his small change. The original developers Popcorn Time had posted the software code, their successors will have had only resume. A simple method ensuring sustainability in a project that will always find takers. Thus, it is rumored that a working version on Reddit would already be in circulation. A question however arises: Before, catalog Popcorn Time was based on the library's proposed YIFY and YTS website but this one has the time between close. So what alternative to power the catalog? APITorrent, at least for films. With the new API, he would be able to regain its former catalog. VPN.ht users, VPN associated with Popcorn Time were also warned of a new update for the software announcing: "VPN.ht Movies installed FIX API."

While Apple has recently announced the upcoming closure of the Beats Music platform to capitalize fully on Apple Music in the United States, Pandora company wants to strengthen its position in the competition. Unlike Spotify, Deezer, or Apple Music, Pandora is only available in the US and offers a Web radio whose play list is refined according to the musical tastes of the user. Since it is not possible to play a full album or choose to listen to all songs from the same artist, so this is more of a service music recommendations. Launched in 2010 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, co-founders of Skype, Rdio therefore closes and pass under the fold of Pandora. In an official statement, Pandora says that this acquisition will be conducted at 75 million. Pandora and has the intellectual properties of its former competitor, its technical platform and will host several employees Rdio.

Gaming YouTube, YouTube Red, and now ... YouTube Music. To stay in the loop, YouTube, like many other streaming content platforms (Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music) adopt the business model of offering a varied and extensive menu of content to retain users. The content remains free, in the case of the new YouTube Music app, available on iOS and Android, with a paid version to not suffer commercials listening. Service side, could already use YouTube from a smartphone, but downloading app now allows you to listen to streaming music without launching a video. It will also be possible to download songs from their smartphone to listen to them offline from the application. For its launch, YouTube offers a video with a compilation of rather powerful and rhythmical clips. The service is currently available in the United States, but the launch date for France will probably be known soon. The pub fare is not the same as the subscription to Red YouTube, or $ 9.99 per month. YouTube, which already has Google Play Music, argued for its launch a music library already comes with over 50 million shares.

The differentiation strategy of French music streaming service finally Qobuz seems not to have worked. Leveraging optimal sound quality against a very intense and pervasive competition in terms of communication, the French company has been placed in receivership by the Paris Commercial Court and seeks a buyer that could save the firm from the bankruptcy. It's in a press release that Yves Riesel launches a desperate appeal "We call on those we would perhaps not convinced. We appeal to those who would finally remorse ... "Qobuz has until 16 November to find a buyer failing to put the key under the door. It has been several months that the site faces difficulties as it did two years that the group is looking for investors. Qobuz was placed under observation period after failing in his attempt to fundraising. In August 2014 when the firm had a round to the tune of € 25 million to continue its international expansion. Yves Riesel pounds to anyone who will listen that the economic profitability is close to Qobuz. To save the service, envelope 10 million would suffice.

Altice is very clear on the subject: between the disappearance of Numericable brand in favor of SFR most famous and massive investment policy, it aims to grab the top spot on the telecom market by 2017. This requires its mobile policy, but above all by his involvement in the field of fiber - whatever the debates that surround the technologies used by the network it offers. And it is for converging network and content that the mobile operator FAI has today its new TV box coupled with an offer of its SVOD colors: Zive. The box, in itself, is not only very classical in appearance, but promises much puisqu'Altice strikes it is indeed "the most powerful of the market", without detailing its technical elements. We know however that it includes an NFC chip, to facilitate the pairing of new terminals (mobile and tablets) with the box, Bluetooth, and wants a central part of the house. It also abandons Android, saw time at SFR, in favor of a software house and setting a strong argument: the decoding of 4K content. And in the absence of UHD TV to speak of, dependent of its offer SVOD offer the appropriate content. This catalog, for now, is quite thin, precisely if we exclude programs for young people. It currently has 5,000 titles, including some proposed either by series seasons, either as integrals. We thus find series such as Desperate Housewives, The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family, and a few French programs. Youth contents are much more valued, especially on the side of Disney, whose films have a category dedicated to the service menu. Note, however, that unlike other content known to be enriched, quarantine Disney movie work in the form of rotation, the number of films thus not increasing over time. And especially Zive promises to integrate 4K UHD content 400 upon its release, including a dozen Sony films.

For decades the music is bought on physical media, it took Apple's iPod for it to become virtual. 10 years later, it is the purchase that is about to disappear. Internet has changed consumer habits, it is not the possession that counts, but access ("we no longer buys a car, one goes on BlaBlaCar; we no longer buy a second home, it was Air ' Bnb ") and music is no exception to this change. Today it is possible to access millions of songs for the price of one CD per month (or less if it agrees to sell his "brain space"). The end of an industry? No ! Well, not forward, Pascal Negro (the boss of Universal) says in a book published this year that if 20% of the French population (12 million people) was taking a streaming subscription, the record industry renouerait with numbers pre-crisis !! On the pre-crisis, that blessed time when money flowed freely and the gold disc was worth 100,000 albums. Booba earlier this year released his seventh solo album with an incredible buzz (controversial interview in Inrocks, iconic song like Tony Sosa, ..) to end up not achieving platinum. Can we say that Booba was half waited for his album Future? No, it is still as influential, each of the clips attracts clicks and posts trigger controversy. He himself explains in an interview for the magazine La Loupe explaining that the CD is useless, that music is consumed for free on the internet. The mixtape Niska past to 8000 copies in first week is a perfect example: a ridiculous figure compared to its millions of views, but do not stop to be placed on first streaming. Another form of success still undervalued by the auditors. Until the streaming figures are reflected in the charts (currently being adopted) only a few rappers hitting a female audience or household types (Gims hello!) Will not have to be ashamed of their sales. The public focuses on a poor indicator for lack of better (and rappers have made the mistake to publicize this indicator). Music has changed we are at an age of access, purchasing is not an album to listen but to support an artist. Think about it when you go to YouTube to listen to the "next rapper fashionable".

Napster was one of the first battles won by justice in the war against illegal downloading. Launched in 1999, closed in 2001, the peer-to-peer software was a brief but important life in the eyes of many pirates. Today resurrect Napster. Mellowed, he even goes to the other side of the barrier as it comes, in fact, to be revived in Canada as a music streaming service. This will allow Canadians to have access to nearly 35 million tracks for $ 7.65 per month - after a three months trial period for only $ 1. The current boss of Napster, Ethan Rudin, stated: "It was important for us to Canada with a personalized musical experience based on a local, national and comprehensive international catalog." Yet another music streaming service, in short. The question is what he will have to offer better than these congeners.

Just three days. That's what it takes for Apple to win the 300 million euros that Deezer hoped up on the markets this week. Last Tuesday evening, the French start-up announced the postponement of its IPO, through which it had to accelerate its development. Cruel calendar while Apple released two hours later the best annual results ever, with a huge annual profit of $ 53.4 billion. Apple and Deezer do not evolve in the same division. Since the launch of Apple Music on a June evening, they are nevertheless become direct competitors. The beginnings of listening streaming service had mocked be beautiful - a few bugs to perfect ergonomics - it has already won 6.5 million paying subscribers in three months, thanks to ...

Part of the team Popcorn Time.io, including Wally, has decided to leave the ship. The reason: strategic differences regarding the introduction of a paid option as a VPN (note: virtual private network), a tool to anonymize its connection. But this source of revenue would have some fear an even harsher sentence if convicted. Recall that developers Popcorn Time are in the crosshairs of the all-powerful Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the association of the six largest US film studios and has declared war on movie piracy . The disappearance of PopcornTime.io yet presented his debut as indestructible, benefiting its main rival, Popcorn-Time.se, formerly known as the Time4PopCorn. However, this version, which is very similar to the first, is regularly blamed for harboring viruses. Moreover, much of its catalog of movies and series also comes from YTS torrent site, which no longer issues. So what alternative to Popcorn Time? Far from giving up, its developers already be working to a successor. This new download software, called Project Butter, propose legally works in the public domain or with the agreement of their dependents.

It should provide greater visibility to the French company created in 2007 and had made its last fundraiser in 2012 with the Russian-American billionaire Len Blavatnik, who is currently its largest shareholder with nearly 30% of the capital, for a $ 100 million. But the money collected should also help its marketing investments and expand its subscriber base in an increasingly competitive environment. For Deezer needs to accelerate its development as the battle in this market is becoming increasingly fierce, especially with the offensive of the American giant Apple, which launched its music streaming service Apple Music June 30 Available in over 180 countries and with a catalog of over 35 million titles, Deezer offers free listening service with advertising and pay offer free advertising for which boasts more than 6 million subscribers. It also faces competition from Swedish Spotify, which claims 75 million users, including 20 million for its paid version, and is valued at more than $ 8 billion. This unexpected setback is a blow to scattered Deezer shareholders whose Xavier Niel, head of Free, which owns 4% stake, the record labels (Warner, Sony, Universal and EMI) which together hold over 16% of capital) and Orange Participations (11.7%). The postponement comes as other French groups prepare their entry on the Paris market. This is the case of the French asset management company Amundi, a global heavyweight, whose IPO in Paris, promises to be one of the largest deals of the year. Or that the online site Showroomprive destocking, which offers time-limited sales, unsold stock from major fashion brands, but also furniture and beauty.

You wanted to watch the latest episode of your favorite series with PopcornTime.io, one of the most popular branches of Popcorn Time? So you inevitably faced an error message in recent days ... As explained by the website TorrentFreak, the software and the application of PopcornTime.io are inaccessible from this weekend and could even be permanently closed their doors if one believes one of the developers. The trade press says that the decision to prevent access to the service was taken following differences of opinion between different developers Popcorn Time. In question ? The project of a paid version of the service that would have frightened some team members because of legal implications highly probable. The latter would have decided to abandon the project, causing the end of Popcorn Time. If Popcorn Time seems to have passed away, the remaining developers are ready to rebound. On Twitter, they announced the imminent arrival of Project Butter, their new baby. On the Internet, this new project - not yet available - is defined as "Popcorn Time devoid of projects that make people suspicious." The service, which is therefore legally will also want to watch streaming movies and series from Bittorrent.

In a future increasingly close, major content producers will they each have their own broadcast channel on demand, bypassing fact established players like Netflix? It is announced that the launch of DisneyLife suggests. Offering privileged access, with ten euros per month, a large part of the studio's catalog - his great classics, her television series, books and stamped Pixar movies - the service will begin next month, UK . This very distinctive geographical restriction is not a coincidence. Disney has in fact already sold the broadcasting rights of its productions Netlfix for the United States and many other countries, including France. But as soon as these rights come back to it, we just assume that the studio DisneyLife open to new lands, rebattant cards definitely a highly competitive industry. If, in addition, he manages to include in its offer the most unifying its catalog entries (Star Wars and Marvel licenses), it could very quickly become a major player.

According to research firm NPA, the US Netflix is about to become the French market leader, with 900,000 subscribers expected by the end of 2015 and generate nearly $ 170 million. Also according to NPA, The rise of Netflix in France itself leaves behind are direct competitor CanalPlay (Canal + Group). The number of French subscribers will reach 900,000 end of 2015, 1.8 million in 2016 to approach 3 million by 2018. Note that SVOD services in France can offer only theatrical releases of movies for over three years because of regulations on media chronology. It is therefore easy to imagine that if current regulations were to be alleviated, these forecasts could even be revised upwards.

Amazon will allow offline viewing for its online video service. Thus, users will have the opportunity to see movies offline, like the music sites like Spotify, Deezer or Apple Music. A feature that Netflix still refuses to implement. But faced with competition and demand increasingly strong users could force the famous SVOD service and his boss Reed Hastings to review its copy.
