Sites to legally watch streaming movies

Most of us have multiple streaming service subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc). As money becomes tighter, some want to lighten their monthly subscription spend and here are some legal ways to stream.

Kanopy

Kanopy offers an interesting portfolio of artistic and classic films. Before you close this page thinking the content is low-grade, know that they even have some films from the Criterion collection.

Kanopy also supports AppleTV, Roku, Chromecast, AndroidTV, FireTV and SamsungTV.

The catch is that you have to be a member of an organization that is subscribed to their service (local library or University ) The one important note is that their film catalogue changes regularly so if you see a film you want to watch, stream it quickly.

Popcornflix

I know the name sounds like one of those Android side-loadable illegal BitTorrent streaming "services" but it isn't. Popcornflix offers comedies and mainstream movies (many recent releases) for free in exchange for inserting ads while you watch. You can watch Popcornflix through any modern web browser or via apps on Roku, AppleTV, Google Play, Amazon or Xbox.

Internet Archive

Many technical geeks know Internet Archive for their service that is trying to archive the web for posterity.

In addition to that noble cause, they also store and stream a considerable amount of classic black and white films (from days gone by). The Internet Archive waits until the copyright expires and then stores and streams it. Everything they stream is in the original unedited format.

Crackle

Crackle has been around for a while but never seems to have caught on. Owned by Sony, it offers relatively modern TV shows and movies for free. They monetize the service by inserting ads. Crackle offers some cult classic films that other platforms don't, so it is worth a look.

Hoopla

Similar to Kanopy, Hoopla requires you to be a member of a library that offers its services. Hoopla is owned by Midwest Tape, a company that supplies libraries with DVDs, CDs and audiobooks.

You sign up using your library card and you will instantly gain access to hundreds of movies and TV shows. Hoopla works via your web browser, on most tablets (Android, iPad), Smartphones (Android and iPhone) or on TV-connected devices like AppleTV, AndroidTV, Chromecasts, Roku and FireTV.

Eye2TV color correct's TV for the colorblind

technologyEdward Kiledjian

We have witnessed an onslaught of "smart" HDMI dongles from the Chromecast to the chromebit to Intel's PC on a stick. These are all very cool technologies but do they really improve your life in a measurable and tangible way?

Colorblindness isn't as serious as many other human afflictions but it's great to see a Kickstarter campaign trying to create a device to help improve their lives. The Eye2TV is an HDMI dongle that plugs into your TV an automatically (immediately) upgrades the image to compensate for the things colorblind people don't see. 

The promise is that normal sighted viewers will not notice the minute changes. They also said the device is adjustable to accomodate different types of colorblindness.

Bell Media announced (Link) a new streaming service called "Project Latte" where they will deliver "the best content on television". The offering will offer both past and current shows (including HBO's library). The Bell offering will be delivered via the web, wireless and TV. Before you jump for joy thinking this is finally the next evolution of TV

“Project Latte” will therefore be made available to all TV subscribers in the country
— Bell Media

Fast forward to today and Telus has signed a distribution deal for "Project Latte" (Link). Remeber that quote I just talked about? This service will initially be available to customers of Telus Optik TV, Bell Fibe TV, Bell Aliant FireOp TV and Bell Satellite TV (ExpressVU).

This could have been a fantastic offering if it did not require a cable subscription. Like our American brothers and sisters, Canadians are dumping landline phones and traditional cable television (Link) and companies will have to modernize to stay relevant. 

Samsung accuses LG employees of theft

SecurityEdward Kiledjian
The Associated Press is reporting that 11 people have been charged with Intellectual Property theft from Samsung related to its advanced OLED TV technology from  Samsung. 6 of those people have been identified as LG employees.
LG has officially denied these claims but Samsung is sticking to its guns and claiming “systematically stole its display technology and poached Samsung employees.”
A good reminder to business managers to evaluate their Intellectual Property protection systems and risk management frameworks.
