\"This book deals with the various ways Netflix reconceptualises television as part of the process of TV IV. As television continues to undergo a myriad of significant changes, Netflix has proven itself to be the dominant force in this development, simultaneously driving a number of these changes and challenging television's existing institutional structures. This comprehensive study explores the pre-history of Netflix, the role of binge-watching in its organisation and marketing, and Netflix's position as a transnational broadcaster. It also examines different concepts of control and the role these play in the history of ancillary technologies, from the remote control to binge-watching as Netflix's iteration of giving control to the viewers. By focusing on Netflix's relationship with the linear television schedule, its negotiations of quality and marketing, as well as the way Netflix integrates into national media systems, Netflix and the Re-invention of Television illuminates the importance of Netflix's role within the processes of TV IV.\"-- Provided by publisher.

This column outlines how libraries can add value to their both their digital offerings and programming while providing local music artists with a curated, low-barrier entrance into streaming media. Library-hosted digital music collections give up-and-coming artists increased exposure and credibility to listeners and open a wealth of opportunities to engage with their communities.

United States copyright law generally assumes that by providing property entitlements in creative works, the free market will balance between two competing priorities: incentivizing creators to produce works and ensuring the public has adequate access to this content. But the Copyright Act also outlines several detailed compulsory licensing schemes requiring the owners of certain copyright interests, musical works in particular, to license to anyone at government-set prices. Consistent with broader property theory concepts, scholars tend to treat compulsory copyright licenses as liability rules used only to address market failures caused by transaction costs. This Article questions that account, arguing that compulsory licensing also plays an important and underexplored role in furthering copyright’s specific policy agenda. A close analysis of the music regulatory regime and its history shows that its primary function has been to recalibrate the balance between creators’ financial incentives and public access to expressive works in situations where free market licensing would yield problematic outcomes. Unlike liability rules designed only to address transaction costs, for which regulators generally try to mimic market rates using market proxies, the compulsory music licensing regime traditionally used rate-setting criteria oriented around copyright policy. Applying these criteria, regulators often chose low royalty rates explicitly designed to allow access-expanding music dissemination technologies—from the player piano to digital radio—to flourish. In recent years, however, policymakers have begun to lose sight of this access-encouraging role. A series of legislative changes, including the recent Music Modernization Act, has made the compulsory music licensing regime increasingly inconsistent and ill equipped to handle new forms of music dissemination. Policymakers now seem to view compulsory licensing as justified only in the face of transaction-cost-based market failures and have begun privileging market mimicking over copyright policy when choosing royalty rates. This shift has yielded increasingly high royalty rates, which have made it more difficult for new disseminators, such as streaming services, to facilitate access to music. This Article argues that the shift away from policy-focused compulsory licensing prevents the regime from maintaining balance in the copyright system, a problem that is especially apparent in the experience of the burgeoning music streaming industry. In particular, a copyright-policy-based approach is necessary to prevent the malleability (and manipulability) of market-mimicking rate-setting standards from yielding royalty rates that are unworkable for streaming services. Although the Music Modernization Act has pushed the existing regime even farther away from its original role by implementing a market-focused rate-setting standard, this Article suggests ways that regulators could still further copyright policy goals in future rate-setting proceedings.

Drogowska discusses how streaming media services influence the structure of semantic reactions. She recognizes semantic reactions as the most suitable framing because, following Alfred Korzybski's orientations, she assumes that the way we evaluate and the consciousness of that process are the core components of \"reality,\" of the way they define objects on an unspeakable level, the way they abstract, the way we perceive, using Batesonian terms, pattern that connects and difference that makes a difference. Referring to \"reality,\" I use quotation marks to emphasize the inadequacy of the term, considering both its Aristotelian bias and its meaning in the context of the television genre. These shows are designed to attract a specific audience through their visual appeal, plot, and characters, who may be perceived as \"one of us.\" She is convinced that today's \"reality,\" as a multiordinal term, is more deeply rooted in the context we create by blending physical objects with stories told on demand via portable and TV screens.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, streaming media technology has emerged as a transformative force, particularly in distance education. This study explores the integration of streaming media into university English teaching, focusing on enhancing real-time interaction, personalization, and student engagement. Despite significant advancements, specific gaps remain in optimizing these aspects within remote settings. Through a mixed-methods approach, combining structured questionnaires with semi-structured interviews, this research identifies key themes and patterns that highlight strengths and areas for improvement. The findings reveal that while streaming media significantly improves teaching quality and student participation, challenges such as network instability and bandwidth limitations persist. The study proposes a comprehensive assessment framework integrating quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of streaming media in university English instruction.

The evolution of online media delivery methods and the ubiquity of mobile devices has led to a shift in user preferences away from physical formats to freely accessible streaming content via sites like YouTube and Spotify and downloads from sites like iTunes. This progression has also resulted in content that libraries are precluded from owning due to prohibitive end-user license agreements. As a result, academic libraries must reexamine the role and objectives of their media collections as well as barriers to their use. This article presents the findings of a survey of North American music media selectors and provides a baseline context for the current and changing state of their collections and collecting habits. It finds that librarians are still actively collecting physical formats even though collection use is shrinking. In addition, they feel local pressures related to budgets, space, and preservation. Librarians have reservations about the costs and stability of commercial streaming products and what that means for creating unique collections. Respondents articulated numerous questions that the library profession should be asking itself and library patrons about the future of academic music media collections. Several possible approaches to these issues are put forth.

Academic libraries face many challenges in collecting and maintaining streaming videos, particularly as demand for this unique format continues to increase. At the Oviatt Library at California State University, Northridge, it was determined that streaming video activity needed to be examined and that there was a strong need to develop a workflow for incoming video requests. A Video Streaming Decision Tree Committee composed of librarians and staff from various units within the library including collection development, acquisitions, cataloging, and music and media. Its charge was to create a decision tree workflow for incoming streaming video requests. The committee designed and implemented a detailed decision tree that accounts for many of the complexities of streaming video. This paper discusses various factors involved with collection development for streaming video and provides a detailed description of the committee’s workflow for the format.
