Two acquisitions in as many days? Say it ain’t so! Prior to even unboxing Phonetic Arts, Google has now snapped up Seattle-based Widevine. Truth be told, you’re substantially taking value of a company’s technology without even being aware of it — it’s used in over 250 million web connected HDTVs and streamers around the creation, and it’s primarily designed to thwart piracy attempts while enabling consumers to enjoy calm on a wider array of inclination. As these things lend towards to do, neither outfit is articulate prices, though it’s sincerely viewable because El Goog would want the firm similar to this in its portfolio. Moreover, it’s equivocal laughable which Viacom’s pulling an interest in order to array Google as an anti-studio, pro-piracy beast while it’s spending hard-earned cash upon the DRM covering. At any rate, Google’s not removing into specific skeleton only nonetheless, only saying the intentions to maintain Widevine’s agreements, yield support for existent and future clients as well as “building on [the record to enhance both Widevine’s products as well as the own.”
