Jim Sachs pulls 'Aquatic Life' screensaver from Roku after Fox acquisition closes
Artist Jim Sachs, creator of the Marine Aquarium animation licensed to Roku as the 'Aquatic Life' screensaver, has declined to renew his licensing deal, ending availability on Roku OS devices after December 1. Sachs told Ars Technica he made the decision the day after learning Fox planned to acquire Roku, a deal that has since closed, citing discomfort with Fox News' approach to content. Roku will automatically replace the screensaver with its ad-supported 'Roku City' animation for affected users.
