Episode 71: No Viewership Transparency Included in The WGA Deal Terms; Court Rules Netflix Infringed on Broadcom's HEVC Patent

This week, we detail the language in the new terms announced by the WGA in their deal with the studios (AMPTA) that resulted from the writers' strike. The new deal provides no real transparency into viewership numbers beyond total hours streamed, and only for self-produced, high-budget streaming programs. We also discuss Amazon's news that starting in early 2024, Prime Video shows and movies will include limited advertisements. Finally, we provide details on a recent ruling by a German court that Netflix is infringing Broadcom's HEVC video patent.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media
