Links from last week

1 Once upon a time, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) had a mission: to control if new US films were morally acceptable before they appeared on the big screen. Well, times have changed: Not only is the MPAA now accusing websites that link to copyrighted material, also the screen is not that big anymore: by the end of the summer MoviePol is going to launch as your online movie-premiere theater.

2 Mobile TV like Sushi? If you wonder what, besides size, can be a common characteristic, see this new study of a University of Vienna on mobile TV and its reception (via Textually).

3 Wrap-up of last week’s User Generated TV conference (UGTV) by NewTeeVee’s Ben Homer. The main conclusions of the conference are that user generated content needs to be good to succeed and that even if it’s good it requires lots of promotion (something traditional media still does well) to be able to properly monetize it. According to NewTeeVee, old media is listening and the key word for them is interactivity. For more information take a look at a past article from MCH.
