Company's TV - Show your own stuff during commercials?

I specifically asked if the way we view it (provided it's legal) matters (I was very specific) and they said no. If it's DRM free content we can stream it to any device within the building.
I'm pretty sure the same goes for music.
It does you have to go to the Labels for them usually. Nice thing though with music is once you are licesned you don't have to buy music.. you can just download from the cheap per month services that let you download all the mp3/flac such as https://www.idjpool.com/

Not really any different than how others do it. You always have to make deals.
They base their licensing costs for new content on assumed viewership. That seems so risky to me considering Hollywood tries to do this and fails every year. Statistical analysis doesn't account for public opinion--at least not well anyway.

Not different than when Networks Gamble on TV shows.

That's true

Even with those models... they are clearly making enough money - because they are spending TONS making their own series.. so I'm not that worried about Netflix.

Marco Polo especially. $90 million for season one. $9 million per episode.

This whole thread makes me laugh, as I'm not worried about any of the entertainment industry's profitability. I'll continue to not follow all these rules and regulations mentioned above, thanks.

It would be interesting to see a change in Netflix billing based on how much you watch. But a flat $10 for unlimited is really hard to justify going to a per view system.
I could see it now - $0.10 a show, $0.15 for a movie, I'm not sure if I'd get over the $10 a month - could be close... I put re-runs on in the background when I'm working or surfing the web.

I'm of the opinion that I can make that decision for myself but not for my company. I have to present the information to them and they make their choice.

It's people's lively hoods at stake, when you avoid it the guy that was on set making $30,000/year or less hurts the most. Next time they won't pay him. There is actually not that much money in it for the people actually doing the work so any you steal from them hurts them a lot (and yes it is stealing).

Until your company gets audited and sued - oh.. and by the way are you completely ok with anyone and everyone just taking whatever your company does and not pay you for it?

Oh sure, I'm certainly not speaking for "at the office" applications. But the discussion of all the semantics of all these laws and Ts and Cs makes me glad to retain the title of "Red Phil the Pirate"..... yarrrrr....

Agreed - on a personal level this is one thing. But a business, especially one that makes money off someone else's stuff they stole (like Office) - no go for me.

Holy crap. I remember when The Next Generation was record setting at $100K/episode.

@wirestyle22 Just deploy Apple TV's and let them Airsync their content over.

Audited and sued for what exactly? We have neither audio nor video playing anywhere in here. And our software and hosting services would be much harder to pirate than a movie or TV show.

I'm not sure if it exists for TV, but I know you can not do this with audio legally. You can play a local radio station in your lobby for example, because that station is paying rights to that music and paying "jukebox fee's." If you buy music, and replay it in your business and you are not paying the recording industry you will get hit with a fine eventually. I have seen cigar lounges, restaurants, and retail stores all hit by people that make money on the side by collecting bounties for turning in businesses. That being said, I have never heard of it happening with television, but I am guessing it comes up in that "This broadcast can not be retransmitted with out express written consent" junk that pops up before a sporting event.
It's not retransmitted, though. It's playing it "sometimes." The same logic there would potentially say that you are not allowed to turn it off just after a show or that anyone, even people at home, cannot switch channels during commercials.
