Pasadena, CA, February 11, 2026 --(PR.com)-- The Magpie Film Company announces the soft launch of its new streaming Channel: MAGPIE.
The channel will focus on independent films and shows with possible expansion into interviews with artists and discussions of the creative process. The company also has a zero tolerance policy of use of generative AI.
In a statement, company president Edward Gusts stated that the company believes that "generative AI is a form of theft" and the channel will never knowingly list AI generated content.
"Any content we license must abide by this rule. And if any AI content slips the the cracks, it will be immediately pulled from the station," said Gusts. "We believe that betting on human artists is the best way to make our shows interesting to humans. We don't care about what an 'Algorithm' determines is good content."
