DMLA 2018 CONFERENCE October 21 — 23 Marina Del Rey Marriott Marina Del Rey Welcome to the 23Nd Annual DMLA Conference at the Marriott Marina Del Rey! DMLA 2018 CONFERENCE October 21 — 23 Marina del Rey Marriott Marina del Rey Welcome to the 23nd Annual DMLA Conference at the Marriott Marina del Rey! The Forum for Connectivity, Advocacy and Education Hello California! We are happy to be back after an absence of almost a decade. The Programme Committee under the leadership of Ophelia Chong, Rich Gell and our Executive Director, Cathy Aron, has assembled an impressive group of speakers ready to share their views and insights with you. To kick things off, our Keynote speaker Chris Do, is an Emmy award winning director, designer and the founder and CEO of brand strategy design consultancy Blind. Chris will address a question that every evolving business needs to address – What win does your company need to reach that next level or to push to a new market? The session topics reflect the evolution, or as some may say, the revolution, going on in our industry. Speakers will be sharing their views on some of the latest technology developments such as Blockchain, Machine Learning & AI, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality. Our digital world has impacted content generation and distribution in a big way. Monetizing User Generated Content, access to and licensing of celebrity content, selling 3D content and motion graphics and the monetization of feature and newsreel outtakes will all be covered in the sessions. To close off the Conference, Google will be here to share details of some of the developments in Google Image Search that will surely be of interest to us all. Finally, without our sponsors it would be impossible for us to put on a Conference like this. A big shout-out to our Platinum sponsors ImageRights International and SmartFrame who sponsored the Opening Reception and many other elements of this event. Adobe continues their strong support of DMLA as our Gold sponsor and we truly appreciate their ongoing contributions to our association. Once again, thanks to Capture, our Silver sponsor, we will be offering DMLA LIVE DAM where you were be able to upload your photo before the conference, allowing other attendees to put a face to a name to help them find you for meetings or networking opportunities. Google, Grant Heilman Photography, PicRights, Shutterstock, WebPurify, WeMark and StockPot Images round out our long list of supportive companies. We are grateful to them all!

  • Audiovisual Forms of Critique As Fair Use, 44 Colum
    ALEC FISHER, UNSPOKEN CRITICISM: AUDIOVISUAL FORMS OF CRITIQUE AS FAIR USE, 44 COLUM. J.L. & ARTS 243 (2021) Unspoken Criticism: Audiovisual Forms of Critique as Fair Use Alec Fisher* INTRODUCTION Imagine a short video from a film critic highlighting the latest superhero summer blockbuster. First, we see a few seconds of the big action finale from the copyrighted film. The superhero flies through the air, zipping between skyscrapers at breakneck speed. The video cuts to a clip of the critic, in closeup, yawning for several seconds. Then, it cuts back to the film, and we see the superhero engaged in the film’s climactic battle, pummeling the villain with superhuman strength. Next, it cuts back to the critic, who is now asleep and snoring loudly. The video ends. Is the resulting video a work of criticism? It may depend on whom you ask. For a court assessing criticism for fair use purposes, the answer is currently unclear. In recent years, the rise of online social media platforms and increased access to the tools of creative expression—smartphone cameras, and photo and video editing software, to name a few—have led to the proliferation of audiovisual criticism on the internet.1 Online audiovisual criticism is now so ubiquitous that numerous YouTube channels dedicated to film and television criticism boast viewership in the hundreds of millions.2 Yet, as new technologies have lowered the barriers to entry for creators of works of criticism, these technologies have also fostered a creative evolution of criticism in ways that present novel questions for copyright law.

What institutional forms has it produced? The present article takes up these questions through a discussion of multichannel networks (MCNs) and their role within the digital video system. MCNs are a new breed of intermediary firm that link entrepreneurial YouTubers with the advertising, marketing and screen production industries. This article considers the functions of MCNs vis-a`-vis the existing con- stellation of screen industry professions, including talent agents, managers and media buyers, who perform similar functions offline. Combining structural analysis of the MCN industry with an assessment of its cultural impacts, I show how Google’s decision to open the YouTube back-end to third-party intermediaries is subtly changing the digital video ecology.

  • Digital Media Market Update | COVID-19
    Observations In recent weeks, the coronavirus has sent shockwaves through markets globally. Since mid-February, the outbreak has accelerated and infections have become widespread, resulting in significant market disruptions that could continue for the foreseeable future. Substantial disruption to all business sectors are occurring with wide ranging implications for the media industry. 1 While the environment is still very fluid (and we expect challenges ahead for many across the space), for several leading digital media platforms, whether digital publishers, over-the-top (OTT) platforms, vMPVDs, streaming music services, or digital games companies, we believe “shelter in place” or similar orders will actually provide a catalyst for user growth over the coming weeks; consumers will have extra time to explore and consume digital entertainment alternatives (and will be looking for lower—or no—cost digital media alternatives to traditional/pay- TV platforms). Numerous early reports across our space show user metrics have been surging in recent weeks, suggesting there may be a silver lining for some digital media companies in the near term. 2. It’s far from all good news of course. We expect digital media companies that are highly dependent on ad- supported models will face real challenges in the months ahead. While many digital media companies have taken measures (organically and via M&A) to diversify business models and reduce dependency on advertising revenues, many remain vulnerable to softness in advertising. In addition, digital media companies tend to be more dependent on advertising that is tied to shorter spot cycles, which can get cut more quickly during market downturns.

INTRODUCTION With the rise in popularity of Let’s Play (“LP”) videos and re- action videos over the past decade, takedown demands and claims for copyright infringement have become widespread on YouTube. LP videos often feature a play-through or demonstration of the mechan- ics of a video game accompanied by a gamer’s commentary,1 while reaction videos record an individual’s response to some stimulus, such as a television episode or film clip.2 Both types of videos typi- cally use copyrighted content from other individuals and companies without licenses, which turns them into targets for large companies, such as Nintendo, that vigorously police their copyrights.3 In accord- ance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), which 4 was enacted in 1998 to protect copyrighted material on the internet, * Touro College Jacob D.

  • Youtube Multichannel Networks (Mcns)
    The cultural logic of digital intermediaries: YouTube multichannel networks (MCNs) Ramon Lobato Swinburne University of Technology, Australia [email protected] Pre-press version (not for citation), November 2015 Forthcoming in Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies ABSTRACT How has YouTube evolved as a cultural and commercial infrastructure? What institutional forms has it produced? The present article takes up these questions through a discussion of multichannel networks (MCNs) and their role within the digital video system. MCNs are a new breed of intermediary firm that link entrepreneurial YouTubers with the advertising, marketing and screen production industries. This article considers the functions of MCNs vis-à-vis the existing constellation of screen industry professions, including talent agents, managers, and media buyers, who perform similar functions offline. Combining structural analysis of the MCN industry with an assessment of its cultural impacts, I show how Google’s decision to open the YouTube back-end to third-party intermediaries is subtly changing the digital video ecology. 1 “Hollywood believes in pixie dust. Silicon Valley believes in data. Today’s entertainment has to be a combination of both.” – Larry Shapiro, Head of Talent at Fullscreen (cited in Spangler 2014b) It has been almost a decade since Google acquired YouTube from its founders, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim. During this time the site has changed profoundly, shedding the youthful exuberance of its early years – the “broadcast yourself” era – and morphing into a more structurally complex, managed ecosystem designed to monetise both amateur and professional content. YouTube’s cultural-economic logic has changed along the way.
