Amazon buys MGM, setting up Prime Videos for James Bond, Rocky to move in - CNet

As Panzer was taking his after lunch nap his kitty bed was violently shaken and he was thrown to the floor. Not willing to accept such treatment, our angry kitty boy hopped in the Panzermobile and headed into the Catosphere. Following all the raucous noise took him to the C/Net site. There he discovered Amazon was the cause of his problem.

 

You woke me for this? Really?

According to a post at C/Net by Joan E. Solsman, Amazon bought MGM this week. The negotiations had been rumored for weeks, but the announcement was made that Amazon is indeed buying MGM for $8.45 Billion. The post does point out that Amazon won't be immediately streaming MGM movies and tv series on Amazon Prime Video. MGM doesn't own the rights or have control over many of the movies and tv series in its library. The post includes several links to other sites for more information on streaming services.

 
Panzer says, "The post brings up a lot of questions and not many answers. This little kitty wants to know 'What did Amazon really buy?'"

 

Note: This is a long post. There are so many links in this post you will need to bring two thermos of tea and twenty-four muffins for today's combined reading selections.
