New Britney Spears Sneak Preview for "Piece of Me" VideoAuthored by dmw on December 13, 2007 - 5:28pm.
Review: The Britney Spears "Gimme More" Video on iTunesAuthored by Scott Goldberg on October 5, 2007 - 10:23am.
 The more I listen to Britney’s Gimme More, the more I like it. She lucked out; the song’s good, catchy, and would be a hit no matter who sang it. You have to hand it to her: She manages to get her hands on more hit-making beats than the average pop princess. And while the video is by no means the flop that her VMA performance was (after all, how bad can a video really be?) it’s certainly uninspiring on many levels:
Britney Spears “Gimme More” Video Debuts on MTVAuthored by Scott Goldberg on October 4, 2007 - 12:20pm.
 Gandhi. Winston Churchill. Britney Spears. Three of the most influential people of the last 100 years? Yes. But the latter will get something next Monday that the first two could never claim: a new video on MTV, the network that has taken the “M” out of Music, debuting on TRL. “Gimme More,” which recently rose to the #1 spot on iTunes and shortly after its release became the #1 iTunes ringtone as well, will be one of the most scrutinized videos the network has ever featured.
Mock Anti-Piracy Ad Summarizes the State of the IssueAuthored by Scott Goldberg on September 11, 2007 - 6:25pm.
 The importance that piracy plays in the news has waxed and waned over the years. Of late the idea of piracy enforcement has become a laughable affair, as the battle between those who want to punish pirates versus those who want to steal music, television shows, and films has become ridiculous in the eyes of those who see it as a hopeless, and therefore humorous, affair. One group seems to have summarized that sentiment in a video clip you can see here. And having been viewed almost 400,000 times in the three days since its posting, it’s clear the public identifies as well.

Video Rental Chain Movie Gallery Submits Rival Bid for Hollywood VideoAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on November 19, 2004 - 4:50am.
Dohan, Ala. -- Movie Gallery, the nation's third-largest video store rental chain, announced on Friday that it has submitted its own bid to rival Blockbuster's offer for Hollywood Entertainment Corp., which owns the Hollywood Video rental chain. Alabama-based Movie Gallery, whose stores are prominent in rural and secondary markets, did not disclose how much it offered for Hollywood Entertainment, but it is believed that the company at least matched Blockbuster's $700 million bid for the company made earlier this week. A merger of Movie Gallery and Hollywood Entertainment would still figure as the second-largest rental chain, behind Blockbuster. Movie Gallery CEO Joe Malugen said he believes his company's proposal "presents almost no antitrust risk," adding that "Blockbuster's proposed acquisition would create a dominant player with significant competitive overlap in the vast majority of markets served by Blockbuster and Hollywood Entertainment."

Monterey, Calif. -- Music videos account for the largest share of the overall streaming video market, representing 33.6% of the 5.6 billion streams served in the first half of 2004, according to a report from AccuStream iMedia Research. The next most popular content category was news and information, with sites like CNN.com, CBSNews.com and Weather.com drawing 18.2% of the market, followed by sports with 15.6% share. Categories drawing smaller audiences included movies, general entertainment and Internet TV. "While music, news and sports are the most popular categories today, publishers are offering more types of content online. That coupled with more broadband users and distribution partnerships is going to alter viewing share patterns in the future," said AccuStream research director Paul A. Palumbo.
