Kevin Spacey recently gave a
keynote address to the Edinburgh Television Festival about where he foresees the future of entertainment media going. It's pretty prophetic and hard to argue with. I particularly enjoyed this snippet:
And through this new form of distribution, we have demonstrated that we have learned the lesson that the music industry didn’t learn. Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price and they’ll more likely pay for it rather than steal it. Well, some will still steal it but I think we can take a bite out of piracy.
This can be applied to so many different parts of the current media landscape it's undeniable. I think it's safe to say we're headed this way, it's only a matter of time.
