so murdoch foresaw the death of physical newspapers in the 80's and thought it would lead to higher margins but not more competition, in a booming sector (more news is being consumed than ever before) the model based on scarcity does struggle to be relevant - somebody is going to make a bundle out of online news... murdoch?
interesting review of vevo
murdoch lambasts google on one side but NYT seems to be an initial partner in two new google puclishing projects?
looks like youtube is exploring a freemium model to capture long form videos. this makes sense as a continuation of the vevo strategy of paid for premium content.
are movie studios starting to behave like VC's?
CBS is the latest in a series of publishers to cut out ad networks.
what are trendsetter into this coming year (hint, not sure of these are really new)
is vevo googles decline into the pit of evil? other than the fact that what is good and evil seem to change with time, this is an interesting perspective from Harvard's media lab.
the lala acquisition could open up a range of new opportunities for apple. not only would you be able to acces your music from any device anywhere (wouldnt that be nice) but a number of other opportunities like selling music via search.
terra firma had been hoodwinked into buying emi by a nasty and dishonest citigroup (err, well, maybe)
