mixing apples with oranges...using the melody from a song in a video you produce is copyright infringement on the Song writer via the song's use...
YOU ARE NOT SELLING or COPYING THE SONG for DISTRIBUTION/MONEY...which is also copyright infringement but more serious.
Watermarking comes in when you "mark" an original work by an artist/producer to be able to trace someone bootlegging it for fee or for sale.
There is no ability to Watermark someone's rendition of a song/melody they "adopt" on their you-tube video. In that case if the artist picks it up...AND has an objection to it, they send notice to the Hoster to cease and desist enabling it and the Hosting company will take it off and notify the alleged violator as to why and the violator has to negotiate a fee or terms to use the melody/song if the owner so wishes.
IMHO...not really...anything that restrains flow of content is a negative...
but with these issues...the one infringed upon protests to the host and requests it be taken off...dont see that changing...those who put a video on a platform are required to affirm that they are not violating any copyright laws... if they do...its taken down when the infringed upon party protests...
non-issue
dont think it has any impact on DSNY...but NEI might be concerned about our Short following over there...since it appears to be personal...just a thought
hey...would it become un-boring if it dropped 50% in a day?
WTF? ... going up every day is never boring imho...its like complaining about "old age"...would you prefer the alternative?
my reference to a better "mouse trap"...
Again...Facebook engineers would not be working on DSNY product...they appear to referring to a Facebook development ...not a third party's.
In one respect a disappointment that an opportunity was lost...but as I said perhaps Clipstream could be shown to them to be a better mousetrap...
as they say "timing is everything"
Certainly...Facebook video ads would be in DSNY sweetspot... but I do not believe anyone can jump to the conclusion that they are testing or using Clipstream based upon the statement:
"In August, the Journal reported Facebook software engineers improved the back-end technology to speed up ads."
Facebook software engineers would not be "improving" DSNY's technology...therefore they have their own solution ... for now.
It is unfortunate that Clipstream was not rolled out before Facebook software engineers "found" their solution to improve the back-end technology to speed up ads...they could have found Clipstream instead!
And this is a perfect example as to why you cannot drag your feet in technology development...someone is always going to be there looking to fill the gap and be first mover before you.
Perhaps Clipstream will ultimately turn out to be a better mouse-trap for them.
they can put on and apply for "any shoe that fits them"...
it appears all 90 days on Nasdaq...if under $4...might have missed one...but dont think so.
We both have an "uncanny grasp of the obvious"
...it appears that there is too much individual chatter between retail investors and management...on issues and events which should be discussed only in the public domain.
Management getting Feedback on beta program is one thing...
...knowing other things...just plain stupid on both parties parts, particularly imprudent to intimate on the board...and to trade on it.
NYSE MKT Listing Standards:
For Standard#1:
1. Pre-tax Income for last fiscal year: $750 k (they have it)
2. Market Cap: N/A (not a requirement)
3. Marek Value of Public Float: $3 Million (they have it)
4. Minimum Price: $3.00 (Dont have this)BUT NO NINETY DAY REQUIREMENT
5. Operating History (not applicable)
6. Shareholder's Equity: $4 Million (they have this) per press release
7. Public Shareholders/Public Float: 400 shareholder/ 1M share float.(they have that)
There are other listing opportunities...Standard might be for "Original" Issues only
It appears that the $10 million in Shareholder Equity it the key to uplisting...and reaching $4 threshold...but 90 days of trading does not seem to be required...
With Nasdaq Capital Market uplisting where your are trying for the Market Value Standard (as is DNSY) the 90 days is a must.
I have not located the 10 million SH Equity in Nasdaq...so they might be looking at NSYE/AMEX...
no one should know...or share on these boards their "guesses" if they evolved from conversations or emails from Steve...there is such a thing as inside information that some on this board appear to be on the edge of...dumb move by all who boast of knowledge and give it...
with that said...I doubt this is anything more than profit taking based upon void of information from trip, year end and a little more shorting...
it appears not to take much to scare people out or have them believe they can sell out and buy back cheaper...so we get these swings...
hey...just trying to be helpful...lol
why not wait til $5???...lol
????? Sabby cleared 100k shares with 1,500 share trade?????
we probably talking the same thing...
My clarification was that it is not imbedded in the software (e.g.AUTOCAD) in the cloud...the end users (consumers) would have to load the platform on their mobile devices...which then gives them access to the e.g. Autocad from their mobile device...
It would not be "imbedded" in Autocad to be accessed by a user.
That is the essential difference between DSNY and SPHIF regarding end user access and functionality...as well as who the customer is.
DSNY...the content provider utilizes(downloads Clipstream)the Platform in the cloud...and transcodes content for access by anyone (end consumer) on any device...(DSNY...essentially a wholesaler)
SPIHF... the users (consumer) utilizes (downloads Glassware)the platform on their mobile devices to access AUTOCAD in the cloud...with the same functionality, as they would currently have from a desk top. (SPIHF...essentially a retailer)
I suppose AUTOCAD could pay SPIHF for each user/subscriber to AUTOCAD it offers a free download link to Glassware...if that is what you were thinking...
or AUTOCAD could simply refer to SPIHF a potential customer..as a re-seller/partner... That would be an interesting "Marketing" tool which SPIHF could use directly with those companies owning programs whose users would benefit from the increased mobile functionality.
pepsiman...not sure, the functionality is not on the cloud side (in the software)...my understanding is that it lies on the user side (with the user, on the user's device).
A company can buy it for all of their employees or individuals can purchase it (users)...as they do with typical license fees to access a third party program on the cloud...but the program being accessed and manipulated would not have Glass imbedded on it.
There are a great deal more Glassware user subscription fees for SPIHF since anyone desiring that functionality on mobile devices would pay per user (or bundled for a number of user accesses)to be used on those devices.
IMHO...might even take until beginning of February...but would expect a contract before...and support
Expensive Financing for Acquisition...conversion $6.36 a share...humm Investors dont realize it yet IMHO
Would have been better offering more $ in shares outright and at a higher pps than this 30% discount..
" The Debentures also are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of the holders at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $6.36, or (ii) 85% of the price per share of the common stock in the Company's first underwritten public offering of not less than $10 million, in each case subject to customary adjustments.
In connection with the sale of the Debentures, the Company agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 the shares of common issued or issuable upon conversion or payment of the Debentures by filing a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within ten days of the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013. "
Agree...malware infections...which are very annoying do not come from Clipstream...but do hijack the uploading of the platform and blocks it. Wondering if that too can be blocked in the fix.
Also wonder if it could hijack the streaming from 3rd party. My guess is that it should not, but could it affect the quality of the streaming video?
Perhaps instructions before uploading platform should appear on page: "For optimum performance, elimination of Malware before uploading is highly recommended"
pete..would gladly take 9K shares of SPIHF off your hands at $5.10
)
dido...I would not sell a share of SPIHF...imho...product launch intimated before end of year, not beta launch
...while DSNY will still be in cleaning up beta launch...still needs Apple interface to be complete...
...once thought DSNY would be out of the gate first...but time seems to be on SPIHF' side...for rollout
Just here to amuse myself...whatever is happening or not happening with this "acquisition" ... it sounds as though the most optimistic event that might happen is a Reverse Merger with an Employment company.
Given that ... how would the shareholders of WNTR expect it to be paid for? If the share count is correct on Yahoo..there are 203 Million shares outstanding. I would expect a Reverse split to occur in the range of 200,000 (or more) for 1...reducing the share count down to 1,030M shares...from there the shareholders would issue shares for the new corp in a sum that would represent 95% of the outstanding shares with current shareholders retaining 5%, at best.
But it does sound Alice in Wonderland...since this $100M revenue/ $5million ebitda company could easily list on any exchange right now...or certainly do the same with another, or buy a shell and get 99% of the shares...certainly not engage with a "pink sheet" company.
glta...
If he is meeting with cable/cell phone firms in Japan...IMHO..I would think it has to do with those firms encouraging content owners to adopt platform for saving bandwidth or adopting G2 themselves to format content which content they stream...
There is a closely held company doing this on the fields and at event venues at prep schools, but with stationary cameras...Steve is aware of them and they of dsny. :)
Body cameras takes it to another level...if constant streaming. I would believe they are only recording on a device storing the video (vs. streaming). Streaming requires "simultaneous formatting" onto the platform to stream from the cloud, which I believe conceptually can be done with Clipstream, but not presently.
IMHO we are talking much more development ... Right now we are talking about formatting already existing video vs. streaming real time...believe their is a technical development gap that would have to be filled.
But overall Pete...good extension of the idea...
And lets face it ...we are still in Beta...with lots more to be done before we see a revenue producing platform that can be marketed.
We are all optimistic but we also have to be realistic...time and work on the platform will produce what we are after...but unfortunately expectations were still ahead of reality.
I dont doubt we will get there...but in response to the most ask travel question by kids: "are we there yet?"...the answer.."No...but we ARE HERE!"
Here is not there.
For believers...it's time to accumulate at the right price...
Up-listing will also have significant impact on PPS...
which will also be in the same time frame...regardless of MSA or plant approvals...
Pete...A profitable game they are playing for now...let DSNY rise slowly to $2.70's or so...short it down again...(with the help of retail sellers, after all they only need to flash 20k shares on the Ask and everyone runs for the hills)and perhaps cover at $2 (to avoid more buying below $2) make a quick buck and do it all over again...that way they don't add to their short, and at the same time have a gain to pay the interest on their Short margin.
I agree...better to keep it at or above $2 ish until uplist...After all it is only a "faux" gain that WILL BE slapped down...at will as we have witnessed.
As a reminder:
""22nd Century Group’s warrant exchange includes inducements for certain warrant classes and will be COMPLETED BY 5:00 p.m., EST, ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2013. 22nd Century Group EXPECTS TO SUBMIT ITS APPLICATION TO NASDAQ AND THE NYSE in JANUARY 2014, with the goal of UP-LISTING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. As of October 31, 2013, 22nd Century Group had total assets of approximately $9.4 million, including approximately $6.5 million in cash and only $700 thousand in current liabilities. The company’s only long-term liability is its derivative warrant liability, which the company expects will be significantly reduced through this warrant exchange."
another reason why I suspect this is not Shorting but retail profit taking...the company's execution and executive team is now like a Locomotive at full speed...who is stupid enough to step in front of it at this point? Risk/Reward?
agree...today's consolidation good here at resistance/overbought...setting up and support for next leg up...probably a little profit taking...vs. shorting...but always risk of being left behind with news...hummmm
ps..vol has been very good on way up and esp. yesterday it was compelling...rise could very well continue today...albeit not as great as yesterday...
As far as I can see...it's only the $2m net tangible assets they would be short...which I would expect to bolster up that number they might invite a significant "customer" to participate in equity position.
Perhaps a Japanese company to participate?
all would benefit from uplisting and huge short covering...It would be quite an investment.
Nice recovery on only 160K shares traded...you can use your imagination where the PPS will go with a 4M share short covering squeeze....hummm
consolidation a good thing...nice to form another base at $2.50 area...it would be very bullish for the next leg up and over the high
Monday starts or leaving for meetings in Japan...how many? with whom? what for?
no..whoever is the owner of the account...child has SS#...you are like a trustee on a Custodial account
yes...you are correct..re: to "custodial" account...you can always put in as much as you want...the $14k is if you want to label as Gift for IRS purposes...No income tax to the receiver of the gift...otherwise..even with your children = income on what you transfer over the $14K annual gift..
you can open a separate trust account or simply open a second regular account to keep it separate
...of course you pay the taxes on it the separate account and they pay on a trust account
...or just transfer stock "in kind" to trust account..up to $14k a year in value, tax free, as a "gift" to them...and you should not incur tax on appreciation...it should not reflect on statement as a sale ...which would be the smarter thing to do. (but have to check with your broker's tax department)
Good move Silver...my 17yr Son added $2500 of his own money early on ...so he now has $85k...he takes a more active roll...(but he is pissed it went down $12k today...even though diversified holding with xxii and spihf) ...but its a good learning lesson.
