Yahoo are willing to buy Hulu for a price tag of $2 Billion

 

Yahoo would pay up to $2 billion to buy Web TV site Hulu from its current owners –  Disney, News Corporation, Comcast, and private equity firm Providence Equity Partners –  a source familiar with Yahoo's M&A plans tells us.
But Yahoo's corporate development people will only bring that type of deal to the Yahoo board if only hulu will guarantee them with four or five years of exclusive access to current TV shows and older movies.
According to Bloomberg report which was published yesterday  suggested Hulu's owners are only willing to offer Hulu's new owner five years of access, but only two years of exclusivity.
Without four or five years of exclusive streaming rights to TV shows and movies, Hulu is "not worth anything."
Hulu has some "nice technology," but if it doesn't come with exclusive rights, Yahoo would probably be better off just submitting a competing bid for the right to stream TV shows and movies.

"It would cost a lot less."

On the other hand, If Hulu had exclusivity for four or five years, that would gives Hulu's new owner – Yahoo, in this scenario – enough time to "build enough equity with consumers that you've created a real leader in premium content and premium advertising."

US Police Got Access To Facebook Users’ Details

US federal agencies are receiving warrants for detailed access to people’s Facebook accounts without their knowledge.

Reuters reported that within the last 3 years, federal judges have authorized at least 25 warrants to search people’s Facebook accounts to different agencies, including the FBI, DEA and ICE, during investigations ranging from arson to terrorism.

Facebook provides the authorities with a detailed package of profile and photo data which isn’t even available to users themselves. Now, it seems that the police are getting so addicted to the amount of useful information they are able to receive from those profiles, that the coppers are hitting the courts for more and more warrants. So far, the federal agencies have been granted at least 11 warrants to search Facebook profiles since the beginning of 2011, which is double the number for all of the last year. Moreover, this figure may be much higher as some of the records are sealed.

Joe Sullivan, Chief Security Officer for Facebook, pointed out that Facebook was very sensitive to user privacy, regularly trying to push back against the “fishing expeditions” of the police. However, the industry observers found out that none of those provided warrants have been challenged on the grounds that it infringed people's Fourth Amendment protection against unlawful search and seizure. The reason for that is simple – neither defendants nor their “friends” knew about those warrants, because neither Facebook nor the authorities is obliged to notify users whose accounts are subject to a search by law enforcement.

Facebook Will Launch In-Browser Video Chat Next Week In Partnership With Skype

Earlier this week while visiting Seattle, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg tipped off Seattle press that the company would be launching an “awesome” new product next week that has been built by Facebook’s Seattle team. The press invitations to that event went out today, saying nothing more than “Please join us for an event at Facebook” on July 6.
So what is the new product? MG Siegler speculates here that it might have a desktop component given all the desktop software hiring going on in Seattle.
And he’s right. This isn’t the main project that team is working on, but next week, says a source with knowledge of the partnership, Facebook will launch a new video chat product, powered by Skype, that works in browser. Suddenly those chat icons in the invitation have a lot more meaning.

The product has been built on Skype and will include a desktop component. It’s not clear to me whether that means it will just work if a user has Skype already installed on the computer, or if additional software will need to be downloaded even if the user already uses Skype. But it’s clear that there’s very deep integration between the products, and from the user’s perspective, the product will be an in browser experience.
Facebook and Skype have already been working together, including integration of various Facebook features into the Skype service.
But this is something else entirely. The partnership could substantially increase Skype usage. Facebook has more than 750 million active users. Currently Skype has just 170 million. And it will certainly help Facebook become even stickier for users as they start to have voice and video chat as an option to communicate.
And this also brings Facebook even closer to Microsoft, which is a Facebook shareholder and has a pending acquisition of Skype. The guys in Redmond must be smiling today, something that happens far too infrequently at Microsoft HQ.
