  • The Motion Picture and Television Industry's Copyright Concerns on the Internet*
    Mickey and the Mouse: The Motion Picture and Television Industry's Copyright Concerns on the Internet* Mark S. Torpoco I. INTRODUCTION In early 1996, international chess champion Garry Kasparov played a six game match with an IBM computer, named Deep Blue, specifically designed to play chess and programmed with the knowl- edge of every known chess move, game, and strategy.' Kasparov's hard-won victory was hailed as a victory for human ingenuity over ar- tificial intelligence,2 but the match itself was important for another reason: it highlighted the potential commercial value of the Internet as an entertainment medium. IBM, which sponsored the match, created an Internet site that al- lowed chess enthusiasts to follow the match move by move and to read on-the-scene expert commentary.' IBM was expecting 200,000 people to drop by, but over 6 million people signed on to view the action as it transpired.4 These are Nielsen-size numbers larger than those of many TV shows, and if IBM could have charged admission to view its Inter- .

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2015 Streaming Broadcasters Relieved By Royalty Break. Radio broadcasters who stream online will pay about one-third less in music royalties to SoundExchange starting in January, thanks to new rates issued by the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) late Wednesday. The new rate for commercial nonsubscription services, both broadcast and pureplay, in 2016 is $0.0017 per performance. That’s a substantial reduction from the $.0025 that most broadcast streamers had been paying but a 21% increase from the $.0014 that pureplay webcasters have been shelling out. Setting the same streaming rate for pureplays and broadcasters marks a new meet-in-the-middle rationalization in the market. The new rate for commercial subscription services in 2016 is $0.0022 per performance, down from $0.0025. Unlike the previous rate-setting, there is no annual step up in royalties. However, the CRB has, for the first time, built in a cost- of-living provision for the period 2017 through 2020 that will adjust the rate annually to reflect any increases or decreases in the Consumer Price Index. But there’s no so- called percentage override, which would have replaced the per-performance rate with a percentage of revenue payment when a webcaster reached a certain revenue threshold. “That’s one of the things that SoundExchange had asked for and broadcasters in particular had said would be very difficult to administer,” attorney David Oxenford tells Inside Radio. Hourly Waging—non-comm channels have their own new rate tied in to Aggregate Tuning Hours; read more at InsideRadio.com.

  • The Walt Disney Company: the Entertainment King
    For the exclusive use of Y. Zhang, 2016. 9-701-035 REV: JANUARY 5, 2009 MICHAEL G. RUKSTAD DAVID COLLIS The Walt Disney Company: The Entertainment King I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse. — Walt Disney The Walt Disney Company’s rebirth under Michael Eisner was widely considered to be one of the great turnaround stories of the late twentieth century. When Eisner arrived in 1984, Disney was languishing and had narrowly avoided takeover and dismemberment. By the end of 2000, however, revenues had climbed from $1.65 billion to $25 billion, while net earnings had risen from $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion (see Exhibit 1). During those 15 years, Disney generated a 27% annual total return to shareholders.1 Analysts gave Eisner much of the credit for Disney’s resurrection. Described as “more hands on than Mother Teresa,” Eisner had a reputation for toughness.2 “If you aren’t tough,” he said, “you just don’t get quality. If you’re soft and fuzzy, like our characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don't mind kicking sand in your face.”3 Disney’s later performance, however, had been well below Eisner’s 20% growth target. Return on equity which had averaged 20% through the first 10 years of the Eisner era began dropping after the ABC merger in 1996 and fell below 10% in 1999. Analysts attributed the decline to heavy investment in new enterprises (such as cruise ships and a new Anaheim theme park) and the third-place performance of the ABC television network.
