Mountain FogNEWS FLASH: BlipTV dumps Paramount!
December 22nd 2009 05:23
I have just been advised by Paramount Pictures that their access to BlipTV, where a lot of us get our clips for the latest and upcoming Paramount films, has been dropped from the site.
Paramount is unable to explain why this has happened, but I am led to believe they are (understandably) extremely angry about it.
Why would BlipTV drop one of the biggest and oldest film production companies and international distributors of major films? That is anyone's guess right now.
I have had to resort to using the dailymotion site, but on embedding their player with the Iron Man 2 clip in it, I do not get the player, but when you click on the info line, below the black space where the player should appear, you instead get referred to the dailymotion site to watch it there.
This will be an annoyance for screentrek (and all other film sites) viewers and it takes the traffic away from our own sites here on Orble.
I have asked Paramount for more details if and when they can establish what is going on, and until then, I am at the mercy of the predicament at hand.
Please be patient with screentrek's difficulties, and all other film sites here at Orble, we will fix it as soon as possible.
Cheers and thanks,
fog
