Update for temp download April 2012

What are the variables? All the variables for streaming only SVOD – but especially # simultaneous viewing devices, and mechanisms to prevent account sharing Number of registered devices Number of devices to which films can be downloaded Impact on the stream count of downloads to devices Max number of films downloaded in total to all devices (SPE films, films from any provider) Max number of films downloaded to any single device (SPE films, films from any provider) How long are downloaded films valid for?

General comments and questions There is general tendency for offerings to become more liberal, so we should start cautiously What we give in one place will be asked for in another Need to keep a clear distinction with EST – SVOD service with download should not allow a large number of films to be downloaded, or for the user to feel they have a “collection” via their subscription Will the user understand if we remove a stream because they have downloaded some content?

Proposed SVOD usage rules, streaming and temp download 2 streams 5 devices, which MUST be registered No more than 5 films (from all content providers) downloaded and un-expired at any one time Downloads can be on all registered devices The existence of download does NOT reduce the stream count in any way Since download can be progressive download, allowing viewing during download, the number of simultaneous film “deliveries” (either stream or download) cannot exceed the max number of simultaneous streams Access to the account info must expose purchasing power or other sensitive info/caps, in order to discourage account sharing Rights for downloads should expire 30 days after download (and 48 hours after viewing? Why?)

Comments on the proposal If we include the requirement that films expire 48 hours after viewing starts, server side will not know this So has to go by the 30 day limit to determine when a film has expired and user can download another film Is 5 films enough? What if you go on holiday for a week and want to use your SVOD subscription offline? – You should just buy some films for this use case?
