THIS JUST IN: Video sharing platform YouTube terminates CNN Philippines over alleged infringement issues from a 3rd Party

(Prepared by Mitch Williams / Bailley Mass Communication news intern for OneNETnews)

QUEZON, MANILA -- In an unexpected turn of events, CNN Philippines' YouTube channel reportedly shuts down last Monday afternoon (July 17th, 2023 -- Manila local time), due to alleged infringement issues involving 3rd parties. The closure of the channel, which served as the digital platform for the renowned news network in America and the Philippines had left many viewers and subscribers nationwide.

Unidentified 3rd parties filed a copyright infringement claim leading to the video-sharing platform for an immediate termination. The exact details of the alleged violation have not been released, but they are believed to have violated YouTube's Terms of Service (ToS). All content previously uploaded to the aforesaid news organization's YouTube channel will be deleted upon termination.

CNN Philippines, a trusted source of news and information in the Philippines has yet to release an official statement regarding the termination.

(via CNN Philippines / Facebook)

The network's Facebook page acknowledged the problem and stated the officials of its video sharing platform were working on resolving it: "Please be informed that our YouTube channel is temporarily disabled due to alleged copyright issues. A notice to this effect was sent to CNN Philippines early this afternoon. We are pursuing ways to resolve these issues so that our YouTube Channel will be back online as soon as possible. We at CNN Philippines maintain our steadfast commitment to strictly adhere to copyright rules and trust that this misunderstanding will be resolved at the earliest possible time".

It comes at a pivotal time for CNN Philippines to close its YouTube channel, as it has aggressively expanded its digital presence. In the age of online news consumption, termination marks a significant setback for the network's digital strategy.

Founded in mid-March 2015, Radio Philippines Network (RPN) and Nine Media Corporation (9MC) have been leading the Philippine news media scene. It covers local, regional and international news under its flagship broadcast sign DZKB-TV 9 in Metro Manila, as well as regional stations in Central and Western Visayas such as DYKB-TV 8 in Bacolod and DYKC-TV 9 in Cebu.

Media organizations face challenges in the digital age due to the termination of a YouTube's channel, which raises questions about a potential intellectual property rights. Content creators and rights holders need effective copyright protection measures to protect them.

It is roughly unclear for what in nature's point-of-view of the alleged infringement and who is involved at this time. In order to restore its digital presence, CNN Philippines, along with its parent companies and the legal counsel of the local government unit in Quezon City, will take appropriate steps.

The aforesaid news organization is part of Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD), a global media and entertainment company and is affiliated with Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google and YouTube. These affiliations may play a role in resolving the termination and ensuring the protection of CNN Philippines' intellectual property rights. Media organizations, digital platforms, and intellectual property rights are intertwined and therefore must have comprehensive strategies in place to protect content in the digital realm.

CNN Philippines and the parent companies are expected to provide more information and updates regarding the termination of their YouTube channel in the coming several days or more. As the situation evolves, it remains to be seen how the network will adapt and navigate in the changing digital landscape.

Henry Cavill: British actor will not return as Superman

Actor says ‘this news isn’t the easiest’ as DC Studio’s new co-chairman James Gunn builds new universe Guardians of the Galaxy director and DC Studios’ new co-chairman, James Gunn, is writing a Superman movie that won’t involve the actor Henry Cavill, who said it was “not the easiest news” after he only recently announced that he would be returning to the role. The new Superman film penned by Gunn will take the character in a different direction and focus on the superhero’s younger years. The announcement comes amid momentous change at DC Studios and parent company Warner Brothers, which has been slashing scores of projects to cut costs after merging with Discovery, Inc. Cavill has played Superman since the 2013 film Man of Steel and last appeared in the role in a cameo in Black Adam earlier this year. In October, after resigning from the lead role in Netflix show The Witcher, he announced he would be returning to play Superman again. On Wednesday, Cavill wrote on Instagram that Gunn and his co-chair, Peter Safran, had met with him to deliver the news.

“I will, after all, not be returning as Superman,” Cavill wrote. “After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.” “My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards.” Gunn’s film will reportedly focus on the younger years of the hero, during his years posing as Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent, with insiders telling the Hollywood Reporter that Gunn could potentially direct the film as well as writing it. “Peter & I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn’t be more over-the-moon about; we’ll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year,” Gunn wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we’re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.” Read the full article

Disney’s All-in-One App and The Merging Trend in The Streaming Industry

On Sep 14, Walt Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek said at an investor conference that the company was planning to group all its streaming products under its flagship Disney+ app, and could tie that service more closely to its theme-parks business. Disney-owned streaming platforms involved in this shift include Disney+ (family-focused and franchise content, including Marvel superhero, Pixar, and Star Wars movies and series), Hulu (general entertainment content), and ESPN+ (sports-focused content).

As the Disney executive stated, placing all three platforms under one umbrella in a single app would reduce the friction viewers faced when toggling between different platforms and devices. Mr. Chapek referred to this sort of packaging as a “hard bundle”, as opposed to the softer bundles it already offers in the U.S., where consumers get a price discount for signing up for several services but they remain on separate apps.

The company has already experimented with such a simplified model in Europe, where the Star streaming brand, which includes many shows that also air on Hulu, is already part of Disney+. Other media companies are also joining the trend of merging their streaming offerings. Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. has said it would combine its Discovery+ service with HBO Max. Paramount Global is considering closing its Showtime streaming service and merging its content into Paramount+. The platforms and apps are not the only parts that join the trend – so as IPs. With the new “open for business” strategy, Warner Bros. has put some of its best-known IPs up for grabs, selling The Lord of the Rings to Amazon and peddling around The Batman animated series. Whereas before, WarnerMedia zealously guarded its films for HBO Max.

It is interesting to look at how the “streaming revolution” is undergoing such a makeover. Before the coronavirus pandemic started in the U.S., voices like The New York Times had expressed concerns about the Exclusives feature of SVOD streaming services, where “[…] The subscription model undermines that fantasy of universality. Imagine a video store that allowed you to rent only Warner Brothers movies. Imagine having to enroll in a corporate loyalty program, pledging allegiance to Disney or Sony or Netflix, and being forced to limit your choices accordingly.” But two years after the pandemic started, it seems like “the fantasy of universality” are circling back, where companies across the industry are trying new strategies under the pressure of economic uncertainty -- from bundling to pricing to ad-supported content. Are there too many lineups in the market? Will people pay for a more aggregated experience? Now with some media giants pursuing a more centralized path, the rest of industry will all but certain to watch the new strategy closely.

In the ultimate symbol of one Hollywood era ending and another beginning, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, home to James Bond and Rocky, finally found a buyer willing to pay retail: Amazon.

The e-commerce giant said on Wednesday that it would acquire the 97-year-old film and television studio for $8.45 billion — or about 40 percent more than other prospective buyers, including Apple and Comcast, thought MGM was worth. The studio, which had been shopped around for months, was once home to “more stars than the heavens,” as Louis B. Mayer liked to brag. But its vast production lot and pre-1986 film library were sold off decades ago. (Sony Pictures now occupies the lot, and Warner Bros. owns classic MGM films like “Singin’ in the Rain,” “The Wizard of Oz,” and “Gone With the Wind.”)

MGM does come with one Hollywood crown jewel: James Bond.

But even 007 has an asterisk. Amazon will own only 50 percent of the spy franchise. The balance is held by Barbara Broccoli and her brother, Michael G. Wilson. The siblings also have ironclad creative control, deciding when to make a new Bond film, who should play the title role and whether television spinoffs get made. (They have blocked such efforts in the past.)

The 25th installment in the Bond series, “No Time to Die,” is scheduled for pandemic-delayed release in theaters on Oct. 8, with Universal Pictures handling overseas distribution.

So why did Amazon pay such a startling premium?

For starters, it can. The company has $71 billion in cash and a market capitalization of $1.64 trillion.

But Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder and chief executive, is known as a conservative buyer. The purchase of Whole Foods for $13.4 billion in 2017 was the biggest acquisition in Amazon’s history. Its next-largest deals — until MGM — were for Zappos ($1.2 billion, 2009) and the smart doorbell company Ring ($1.2 billion, 2018).

The Whole Foods deal was a major strategic change for the company, pushing it into new markets of groceries and physical stores, which it had largely avoided. MGM is more about augmenting a current strategy: Amazon most likely paid more than others thought MGM was worth because of its all-important Prime membership program.

In addition to paying Amazon $119 a year or $13 a month for free shipping and other perks — notably access to the Prime Video streaming service — households with Prime memberships typically spend $3,000 a year on Amazon. That is more than twice what households without the membership spend, according to Morgan Stanley. About 200 million people pay for Prime memberships.

“More and more Prime members are using video more often, spending more hours on there, so I think this is a way to add more content and more talent around movies,” said Brian Yarbrough, a senior analyst at Edward Jones.

“This isn’t one studio buying another,” he added. “If you’re Amazon, the perspective is what’s the potential for Prime membership, what is the potential for advertising.”

In buying MGM, Amazon is bolstering Prime Video at a time when the biggest old-line studios are becoming less willing to license their libraries to outside streaming services; Warner Bros., Walt Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures must now supply corporate siblings like HBO Max, Disney+ and Paramount+.

That shift has made independent film libraries more valuable. In recent weeks, Sony Pictures licensed its old films and TV shows to Netflix and Disney in deals valued at more than $3 billion, a sharp increase from the expiring licensing agreements. Sony does not have a streaming service, unless you count the game-oriented PlayStation Network.

Although its library is diminished, MGM still owns 4,000 older movies, including pre-1986 films that come from two MGM divisions, United Artists and Orion. Those movies include “Rocky,” “RoboCop,” “The Pink Panther,” “Silence of the Lambs” and the James Bond catalog. (Fun fact: In true Hollywood fashion, MGM’s roaring lion mascot is lip-syncing; a cranky tiger sounded more ferocious.)

In addition, MGM has several movies in its pipeline that could be Oscar contenders, including “Respect,” an Aretha Franklin biopic starring Jennifer Hudson; Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci,” starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver; and Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest project, which stars Bradley Cooper in his first film since “A Star is Born.”

Amazon’s appetite for movies became ravenous during the pandemic. It paid $125 million for the rights to “Coming 2 America,” $80 million for “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” and $200 million for “The Tomorrow War,” a Chris Pratt adventure that will arrive on Prime on July 2. Amazon also has Oscar ambitions, buying the rights to “Sound of Metal,” which was nominated for best picture and other top awards at the most recent ceremony.

When it comes to making its own hit films, Amazon has long struggled. MGM managers could help: Michael De Luca, MGM’s movie chairman, has a track record that includes, at various companies, the “Rush Hour,” “Austin Powers” and “Fifty Shades of Grey” franchises.

MGM also has a television studio that makes “Vikings,” “The Handmaid’s Tale” and various “Real Housewives” shows. In 2014, MGM acquired Mark Burnett’s production company, One Three Media, which holds rights to competition series like “The Voice,” “Survivor” and “Shark Tank.” Mr. Burnett, a contentious figure in Hollywood because he helped shape Donald J. Trump’s image with “The Apprentice” and remained close to him during his divisive presidential term, serves as MGM’s television chairman.

Anchorage Capital, a New York investment firm, has been the majority owner of MGM for more than a decade. Before that, MGM was tossed between owners and, bitten by falling DVD revenue, eventually ending up in bankruptcy. It was worth about $2 billion in 2010, according to analysts.

Kevin Ulrich, Anchorage’s chief executive and MGM’s chairman, formally put the studio on the block late last year. Anchorage has been under pressure from various stakeholders to exit the investment, with some agitators complaining that Mr. Ulrich was overly enamored with Hollywood and should have sold years ago.

The end of MGM as a stand-alone company adds to a vast reshaping of the media business as the big seek to compete by getting even bigger. Last week, AT&T announced a deal to spin off its WarnerMedia group and combine it with Discovery Inc., a move meant to strengthen WarnerMedia’s struggling HBO Max streaming service and a nascent streaming platform owned by Discovery. In a counterattack against the tech companies that have aggressively moved into Hollywood over the last decade, Disney paid $71.3 billion for the bulk of Rupert Murdoch’s entertainment assets in 2019.

Such megadeals have left smaller studios like MGM, Lionsgate and STX Entertainment looking for lifelines. (STX, known for comedies like “Hustlers” and “Bad Moms,” merged with the Bollywood studio Eros International last summer.)

Candel Therapeutics Leases 16,000 SF Office and Lab Space in Needham

BOSTON – Bulfinch announced that Candel Therapeutics, a Massachusetts-based biotechnology company, has signed a 7-year lease for 16,000 SF of lab and office space at 117 Kendrick Street in Needham, MA.

“We are excited to help anchor the building of the N-Squared Innovation District biotechnology community,” said Estuardo Aguilar-Cordova, CEO of Candel Therapeutics. “The location and facilities will enable us to foster a productive culture of innovation and community.”

Mike Wilcox, Senior Vice President and Director of Leasing at Bulfinch, represented the ownership in the transaction. Evan Gallagher, SVP and John A. Carroll III, EVP at Colliers International represented the tenant, Candel Therapeutics.

“We are delighted to welcome Candel as our second life sciences tenant to 117 Kendrick Street and to be able to accommodate lab users at this special asset,” said Eric Schlager, CEO of Bulfinch. “Bulfinch remains committed to growing our life science portfolio.”

Mr. Wilcox added: “Our participation in the N-Squared Innovation District, as well as our current development at Cambridge Discovery Park, a 270,000 SF lab and office building currently under construction and scheduled to deliver in Q1 2020, further demonstrate Bulfinch’s focus on life science and medical assets. We are dedicated to providing well-located properties and state-of-the-art spaces designed for our tenants to recruit and retain talented employees.”

117 Kendrick Street is located in Needham Crossing business park within the N-Squared Innovation District, one of Greater Boston’s leading tech hubs. The location boasts direct access to I-95/Route 128 and the 128 Business Council Shuttle Service.

Devra Bailin, Economic Development Director for the Town of Needham said “Mike Wilcox and Bulfinch have been a critical factor in the success of the Newton-Needham corridor. Their planning and development expertise along with their investment in the N-Squared District has really helped transform the area.”

Bulfinch acquired the building in 2014. Recognizing the growing demand for technology and life science space, Bulfinch identified key renovations to the property’s systems, common areas and outdoor spaces to reinvigorate the property. Building lobbies have been transformed from outdated designs to modern, light-filled and welcoming entrances that enhance visitor and tenant experiences as they enter the building. An updated outdoor courtyard compliments the interior upgrades with multi-tiered seating options, accompanied by a fire pit and thoughtfully placed vegetation. Inside the property, tenants enjoy a full-service cafeteria and lounge and use of the HqO tenant engagement app to increase communication and provide tenants with a variety of on-site amenities and perks at local retailers. The building has earned a Gold Level Wired Score.

The architect for the building, Larry Grossman, Senior Principal with Stantec, added “We extended the work environment outside of the office to include the street and communal areas. By creating spaces with warmer finishes and inviting furniture, we are able to promote social interaction and the ability for people to casually meet in small groups.”

Recent renovations contributed to prominent biopharmaceutical tenant Verastem, Inc.’s decision to remain at 117 Kendrick Street in 2018 and expand their space. Additional tenants include Warner Brothers, Marcum LLP, Enservio and BBK Worldwide.
