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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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".
