I Believe In The Internet - The Content Industry Doesn't

bradburnham:

I am sympathetic to the content industries struggles with piracy, but my belief system tells me the answer is to capitalize on the great strengths of the Internet to create a healthy and profitable relationship with their users not to sue them.

Seeing technological changes as an opportunity to “create a healthy and profitable relationship with users” is what it’s all about.  Internet companies that deal in content (O’Reilly, Amazon) are proving this out.  It’s possible to do, and it’s interesting and exciting to figure out. 

Rather than protect outdated business models, we need to encourage the creative discovery of new ones.
