Media Disruption
The record companies showed us how not to deal with disruption, but it doesn't seem that many of the other big media companies have learned anything from it. Whether it's the huge amount of user-generated content that is showing up online, or just using new services to reach a new audience, this is the future of entertainment. How all this content gets onto the device you want to view it on, how you pay for it, who you can share it with and other questions are being debated now, and the answers will define our media consumption experience.*
Digital Music changes the music industry: News: Apple’s iPod aura wearing off with music labels — Last month it was Universal Music Group, this month it’s Warner Music. As record label’s contracts with Apple run out, the companies are deciding they don’t really want to be in a controlling relationship, and would prefer to see other distributors. Both Universal and Warner are shifting to a month-to-month contract with Apple that will allow them to strike deals elsewhere. If the companies have figured out yet that they don’t have to be in constant control of their own content, that might even mean a few crumbs for startups.
