Nail in Coffin on Old Media
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/technology/30cable.html?ref=technology
Technology and progress is always thwarted by old Technologies who don't want to become obsolete. TV is old media and fighting against fracturing, convergence and common sense isn't the way you thwart extinction. While pLot is developing for a DVR future, they want to sue against progress. It's not healthy but one day entertainment companies will look at their decaying fossils and realize maybe I should have hired smart technologist versus hire a slew of lawyers to rewind the clock and keep us in the 20th century. TV, Radio, Record companies and Media buyers, you are invited to join us in the 21st century. Either as a member of our society or bones stacked up for display in a museum.
