Streaming Video and the 'Golden Age of Archive Licensing' |
Recently, we had the chance to speak at the DMLA’s annual conference regarding the impact of Netflix and other streaming services on the footage business. Our presentation addressed three main questions. First, whether streaming video on demand (SVOD) services, taken collectively, now comprise the dominant customer base for footage licensors. Second, if the SVOD's are now the leading customers for footage, whether we can expect their position to endure. And third, whether the streamers are adhering to long-established footage licensing conventions. In advance of our presentation, we spoke with a number of footage executives to get their first-hand perspectives on the evolution and status of this key market sector. Based on those conversations, as well as other research and analysis, it appears that the SVODs have become the leading client cateogy for footage companies, that they will remain so for the foreseeable future and that, while Fair Use is on the rise, the streaming platforms are not driving this trend.

Now Streaming: The US and the Holocaust
|
The U.S. and the Holocaust, a three-part, six-hour documentary series streaming now on PBS.org, examines America’s failure to take action in the face of one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the twentieth century. While evidence mounted that the Nazi’s persecution of European Jews was building toward a genocidal catastrophe, leading figures both within the US government and the society at large stood against Jewish immigration to the US, effectively blocking all but a fraction from escaping the nightmare of Nazi occupied Europe. Directed and produced by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein, the series combines first-person accounts of Holocaust witnesses and survivors, interviews with leading historians and writers and powerful archival footage to “tackle a range of questions that remain essential to our society today, including how racism influences policies related to immigration and refugees as well as how governments and people respond to the rise of authoritarian states that manipulate history and facts to consolidate power.”
