This tendency might continue for “at least” the next couple of years, according to Ampere Analysis’ Guy Bisson, a speaker at Monday’s opening panel of the Berlinale Series Market, which runs through Feb. 22. “We are entering a phase of market maturity in streaming: Growth is difficult to come by. We see it across the globe, most drastically in the U.S.,” he observed.  That said, there is one “lockdown trend” that happened to stick around: Unscripted commissioning rose to match scripted, with streaming commissioning currently focusing ever more at documentary, entertainment and reality.

A magistrate judge in a court in Texas has recommended that a song-theft lawsuit against Nickelback be dismissed, because the plaintiff’s explanation for how the band might have had access to his earlier track is insufficient.Kirk Johnston, vocalist with the band Snowblind Revival, went legal in 2020, claiming that Nickelback’s 2005 track ‘Rockstar’ ripped off a song he had written with the same title four years earlier.Unsurprisingly, the members of Nickelback – who deny having ever heard of the earlier song or Snowblind Revival before Johnston went legal – called for the song-theft lawsuit to be dismissed.But magistrate judge Susan Hightower, when initially considering the case, said that she wasn’t convinced there were grounds for dismissal.Though, she added at the time, the credibility of Johnston’s theory for how Nickelback might have accessed the earlier song was still to be determined. That would depend on what evidence he could provide to back up his claim that his song had likely reached Nickelback via some record label execs he had played it to.If the evidence backing up that theory was strong, she went on, there were sufficient similarities between the two ‘Rockstar’ songs for Johnston’s claims of copyright infringement to go before a jury.However, Hightower says in a new written opinion on the case published last week, Johnston has failed to provide good evidence to back up his grand theory.

Drake and 21 Savage last week settled the lawsuit filed against them by Vogue over the marketing campaign for their collaborative album ‘Her Loss’.That campaign involved the creation and distribution of an assortment of fake media coverage, including a faked Vogue cover featuring Drake and 21 Savage, and even a short run of a mocked up edition of the fashion magazine containing that cover and some other spoof content.Whereas the other spoofed media didn’t seem too bothered by the ‘Her Loss’ promo, Vogue owner Condé Nast was not happy at all.It quickly sent out some cease and desist letters to the musicians and their communications agency Hiltzik Strategies, and when that didn’t result in any ceasing and desisting, the media firm went to court accusing Drake, 21 Savage and Hiltzik of trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising, among other things.That legal action sought a court order – initially a temporary restraining order – that would prohibit any further distribution of the fake Vogue cover, plus – of course – lots of lovely damages.Quickly granting the temporary restraining order, the judge concluded that “Condé Nast has a likelihood of success on its claims for federal and common law trademark infringement, false designation of origin and unfair competition, false endorsement, dilution, false advertising, and violation of [New York General Business Law]”.The musicians and their marketing team confirmed they’d adhere to that order at the time, telling the court: “To avoid unnecessary cost and expense, defendants, pending the outcome of this litigation, but without conceding any liability with respect to the claims asserted by Condé Nast in this action, and without conceding any wrongdoing on
