versus

It’s not either... or!

There is no one-fits-all recipe

Not all ‘Content’ is the same

Not all Media is the same

Not all Users are the same

Not all Cultures are the same

Personal, digital consumer ‘Piracy’ is simply just Market Failure

Free gets you to a place where you can ask to get paid*Quote by Fred Wilson, Union Square Ventures www.avc.com

*or receive other benefits

The product: ease, speed, price, convenience

• Good quality images• Finding the right photo is quick

and easy• The rights (licenses) are

cleared• The price is right (well...

mostly)• I don’t pay just for the content -

I pay for ease of use, peace of mind, the interface, service & curation...!

Content is first a Service & an Experience - and only

then (maybe) a Product.

Content 2.0: New Packaging

New ways to ‘sell’

The virtual goods economy is very real

Hybrid Models in many variations

Not consumption... Access, Packaging... Service!

Content Commerce 2.0: don’t try to sell what is Ubiquitous - sell what is

Scarce

Digital Music: still utterly dysfunctional...

Copies don’t equal $$ anymore

What are those new behaviors...?

• Access comes before ownership• All-you-can-eat / unlimited / flat fees &

bundles are much preferred• ‘Feels Like Free’ will be part of everything• Paying with attention (aka advertising) is OK!

Trust the People formerly known as Consumers

And yes... some breakage will occur, too

Music: time to accept and adapt!

Every large audience can be monetized

A wave that Content Owners must learn to ride

Was Is Soon Near Future Mid-term Future

Attention - Based Revenues

Apps not Ads: Appvertising not @vertising

The rising tide will float everyone’s boat

Content is King

The New Premium

The new Normal

We must focus on the New Generatives
