"BEEP!"
may I go on record to say the state of conservative and liberal view of media is hilariously ironic?
Maybe Sony will improve Crunchyroll streaming. While not bad sometimes the ad breaks just freeze things when using my table. I don't have this problems on Prime or on Demand so it is not my tablet snice those both running at higher definitions. Overall fixing it involves restarting the app so that a different ad comes up and is just annoying.
time for us to make our own anime.
Love to see the centralization of all corporate power and media
definitely nothing bad happens
Well it looks like Sony purchasing Crunchyroll from AT&T has in fact triggered a Department of Justice AntiTrust investigation in regards to the anime market.
Sony’s Hopes of Countering Netflix in Anime Market Delayed by Antitrust Probe
Sony Pictures’ hopes of countering Netflix and Amazon in the increasingly popular market for the Japanese-style animated videos known as anime has hit a snag. The U.S. Justice Department has extended its antitrust review of Sony’s proposed $1.2 billion acquisition of anime-streaming service ...www.theinformation.com
I've been concerned just because of Sony's proclivity to censor what it's been localizing.
Censoring is a definite concern but the Antitrust thing in and of itself doesn't make sense to me. AT&T owned it before and they own Warner Media which is a way bigger streaming and media library then even Sony.
And when you consider how Amazon owns like 80% or whatever of all book sales in the US, I somehow doubt Sony even comes close to controlling distribution of 80% of all anime in the US. Netflix has a big library all on its own and I'm sure there's other spread on other platforms as well.
