If you ever wondered just who gives in to ransom demands from hackers (which experts always agree one should never do), well, the answer today is Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center hospital. And to the tune of $17,000 (in the form of 40 bitcoins).

YouTube (or “Utube” for those who are too lazy to type “Yo”) is preparing to launch channels with paid subscriptions to its video lineup. Channel owners can apply to have a premium channel, and YouTube is hoping that channels with specially designed content will draw more users. It looks as though premium channel subscriptions will cost somewhere between $1 and $5, with the first channels launching as early as the second quarter of this year.

Fox Network has announced that next month it will start requiring people to prove that they have a cable or satellite subscription in order to have timely access to online Fox Network content on the Fox website and on Hulu. Those who can authenticate that they have a paid subscription will be able to get past the so-called ‘paywall’ and will be able to access contemporary content the day after it is aired on Fox, just as they can now. However those without a cable or dish account will be stopped at the pay wall, and will have to wait a week and a day (8 days) before they can see the latest episode of their favorite shows.
