- Facebook getting more serious about music streaming (i.e., linked videos), hiring away YouTube’s global music strategist.
(Of course, the biz fantasises that this means Facebook will charge subscribers $5/month and give it all to the record companies. This is … not likely.)
- Denuvo’s cracked DRM is still broken, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard being cracked in a record five days.
- BitChute is a new YouTube clone, with the videos stored on BitTorrent! I’m sure Hollywood will be flummoxed by that one. The interesting bit is that it’s a nicely-packaged presentation of WebTorrent, which is a torrent client written entirely in JavaScript that can be run in a web browser. The key mission of BitChute is “free speech,” which in practice appears to mean somewhere alt-right talking heads can monetise their bile.
- Be a good girl or play like a man: why women aren’t getting into jazz.
