Furthermore Last Fall, TV networks moved to assure advertisers that DVRs weren’t the death knell of advertising, as among other things, DVR owners watched more TV than people without the devices. Now, a new study apparently indicates the opposite — that DVR owners watch less TV. Well, sort of, anyway: all the study seems to show is that DVR owners are less likely than non-owners to watch 45 hours or more of TV in a week. Furthermore, the study is reliant on interviews, with a good chance people underreported how much TV they actually watch. After all, nobody really wants to own up to watching that Buffy The Vampire Slayer marathon one day last week, followed by hour upon hour of Baywatch reruns. The networks say their research backs up their original claim that DVR owners do indeed watch less TV overall, something this new study — or at least its press release — doesn’t cover. But “DVR owners less likely to watch more than 44.5 hours of TV per week than non-DVR owners” doesn’t make for the juiciest lead, does it?.

However For quite some time there have been rumors about Amazon’s plans for video or audio downloads. Now, just a week after Apple’s movie download plans are leaked, Amazon’s own similar plans are leaked as well. Apparently, Amazon decided to skip completely by a music download store (something they’ve also talked about for years) since Apple remains so dominant in the space. So, it’s unlikely they’re thrilled about Apple’s plans in the video space as well. However, again, it’ll be interesting to see how the market shakes out. The article is a bit vague and still leaves a lot up in the air, while ignoring how things like BitTorrent or YouTube could end up competing in the market. Just because Amazon is entering the space, it doesn’t mean it’s a slam dunk that enough people will care.

occasionally we can take a look at this Michael Geist’s latest column questions why the Canadian government is paying the Creators’ Rights Alliance — an organization that, among other things, lobbies the government on policy issues involving copyright. If it were somehow a small organization whose voice wasn’t getting heard, some might defend it as helping those who don’t have an effective lobbying voice. However, this isn’t a small, struggling organization. It’s especially worrying since we’ve seen repeatedly that lobbying organizations focused on copyrights often don’t actually represent the views of the content creators they claim to represent.

However Earlier this week, Movielink, the movie-download site that’s owned by a number of movie studios, said it had licensed technology to allow users to burn downloaded movies to DVDs, but couldn’t yet offer the service as it still needed to license some encryption software as well as get approval from the studios that their movies could be used for the service. Much to Movielink’s chagrin, its major rival, CinemaNow, says it will start letting customers burn some movies to DVD, with the studios’ blessing. It’s slightly odd that the studios would let CinemaNow introduce the functionality before a site in which they have a financial stake, but they apparently feel somewhat comfortable with the technology the site’s been using to let users burn porn DVDs for several months. Of course, there’s a catch — only about 100 movies are initially available to be burned, none of them new releases. According to BusinessWeek, the studios want to see if the movies “end up littering the nation’s piracy sites” — which, as usual, is completely pointless, since the movies will have long been available on pirate sites. It almost sounds like they’re setting the system up to fail, perhaps to protect physical DVD retailers, or to once again put forth the nonsensical “you can’t compete with free” argument. Perhaps in one sense they’re right: you can’t compete with free if you don’t offer consumers anything worthwhile.

Windows - aerospace. A launch window. I also heard these things a Child’s First Car Loan, Courtesy Of Toyota During the original dot com boom, there was an interesting company called “DoughNet” which was supposed to to be a financial site for kids — trying to teach kids how to be responsible with money at a young age. Of course, that was the marketing spin. Others believed that it was just a sneaky way to give kids access to some of their parents’ cash so they could spend it online (parents usually had to set up an account with a certain amount of money that the kids could “manage”). While it got a lot of hype, it quickly went nowhere. However, now that so many people have forgotten what happened last time around, it’s no surprise that we’re seeing similar ideas — with new twists. Last month we wrote about Toyota’s strategy to get kids hooked at a young age, by sponsoring many different aspects of a virtual world for kids. Of course, if you’re going to get kids hooked on wanting a certain car, you might as well get them primed and ready to do so with debt. Jeremy Wagstaff notes that Toyota has now added a new feature to this children’s virtual world: the ability to buy one of these virtual cars on credit. It even involves a fake credit report using “WhyCO” numbers designed to mimic FICO numbers. Of course, to get a good WhyCO number you have to be very involved in the Whyville virtual community. It’s being pitched (of course) as a way for kids to better understand things like car loans — but some might wonder why 8-year-olds really need to understand things like credit scores, debt and interest payments. Next thing you know, we’ll find out that these kids are being taught the importance of purchasing the extra warranty and the virtual undercoating as well… First - the ordinal number matching the number one in a series.
