Ahhhh. It’s GREAT being “older”….
–I remember when the musical medium was VINYL and to see a movie, you had to go to the MOVIES!
–The advent of cassette (audio) tapes had the music publishers scrambling to ban cassettes for fear of personal
and commercial piracy, and I’m sure that there WAS quite a bit of both,
but the record labels made GREAT GOBS more in sales because people
could use their products in more places, increasing their frequency of
use, and increased their collections. –As with VCRs. The movie
industry sought to ban them over similar concerns, but they have made
$h1tl0ads of more money because of them. –As with DVDs. As with
BRDs. Note, that the movie labels are invested in the player and display
technology companies, so that they not only profit from their
productions, but also the home-player sales. –CDs initially gave
the music industry Vastly increased revenue as LP owners shelved their
vinyl to be replaced by the better medium. Pirating of digital tracks
likely took a higher percentage of sales when hardware and software made
it easier for non-nerds to copy and play music, c. 1990–But this was
overlapped by Highly increased sales due to cable-network and MTV
formats for marketing in the prior decade. Which, not coincidentally,
those networks being owned and bought-up by, you got it, the Music and
Movie production, distribution, and technology industries. They continue
to make their zillions, but the landscape HAS changed. —- The
music industry was ever a criticized monopoly. Ever protested, always
winning enough to keep the old game. It is changed, now. The old system
is not completely dead, but the landscape is alien to it. They need
adapt or die. They have no moral grounds for complaint–They invested
former profits into owning the networks. Profits obtained through
less-than wholesome business practices. —- Likewise for the movie
industry. Soon, countless artistic geniuses (nerds) will release
block-buster quality movies produced with $10k of equipment.
————– The entertainment industries have had their days. They
started as virtual monopolies due to high equipment costs. They have
morphed their marketing approaches very successfully. They have obtained
vastly lengthened copyright protections. They have thus far survived
and made profits, WITHOUT TRAMPLING THE CONSTITUTION, despite their
attempts. Let them again survive the changing landscape–Or die.
