Buy em back! DVDs are dirt cheap right now (sometimes $1 a pop at flea markets, garage sales, and thrift stores)

You can do with a better medium that is less bulky and less prone to damage.

This is honestly what Google should’ve done with Fiber.
Big tech’s lobbyist dollars would have beaten Comcast’s with ease.

I’m such an apathetic consumer of media nowadays… it’d suck if we all just started going outside again, yknow?

The mall and downtown are dead

That’s fine, the people in the mall were dead to begin with. Just another outlet for zombie consumerism. There are better places outside.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The new trade group should give companies like Netflix and Disney a solid foundation from which to deal with current and future regulation by the federal government related specifically to streaming.
The SIA formed as regulators look for ways to deal with a changing entertainment landscape that increasingly includes content creators on social platforms, which these companies don’t necessarily want to be lumped in with.
In addition to Netflix and Disney, Axios lists SIA members Paramount Plus, Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max, Peacock, TelevisaUnivision, and some small streamers like For Us By Us Network, Vault, and AfroLandTV.
Netflix joined the MPA in 2019 and left the Internet Association, a broader trade group representing Big Tech companies like Google and Amazon that can’t really help streaming video firms with intellectual property fights (and in some cases, could be at odds with them).
Because streaming video companies exist in such a weird limbo between all of these worlds, they could get caught up in legislation that’s intended to target other facets of the internet.
Laws like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), which features overly broad definitions of the platforms it targets and has troubling privacy implications thanks to surveillance requirements, could sweep companies like Netflix or Disney up into its dragnet.
The original article contains 366 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 43%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

So what makes it new? Is it just bringing in digital pure plays like Netflix and Amazon into the fold of TV industry stalwarts like NBC, Disney, and Disco/Warner? Is it new working groups that focus exclusively on digital regulation as opposed to legacy over the air and cable TV?

I’m really glad I took the time to set up a Jellyfin server recently.
Why9@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Great, now let me pay a single fee for the SIA, and be able to watch anything on any of those channels. I’d happily pay a higher amount for that privilege.

That’s not likely to happen, but if it did, it would be much more expensive and include ads. We’re not returning to cable benefits without plenty of the downsides (and, no doubt, some new ones).
