Re: Here's a crazy thought "If you're suggesting a new model -- which we definitely do need, it needs to be complete."
I agree completely and I'm of the opinion that such a model already exists and is already firmly in place. That model is so old it's new: simply compense the creator directly for the creation. More musicians, filmmakers and other creative-types are taking control over their work and how they generate revenue streams; they're handling their own content creation, marketing and distribution. And there are more than enough distributors (of both hard copy and electronic copy) to assist them.
And in the long run this model has every thing it needs to be successful. As more artists recognize the benefits of being in charge of their careers (more artistic freedom, more money), fewer and fewer will probably sign with the majors...and suddenly one day the majors won't be so major anymore.
I suspect we're witnessing the final days of our generation's Edison Trust...and we've got a front row seat! |
