Webcasting Goes Live and In Person
from the looking-for-that-business-model dept
An interesting article about webcasting live music. The article talks a lot about Riffage.com. The company was originally designed to be a place where smaller name artists could promote their music. However, when that wasn't working out, Riffage went out and bought the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco in order to start web casting events (and to make a little actual money on real live paying guests). Thus, webcasters are hoping that more traditional revenue streams will keep them in business until there's some way to make money from webcasting.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
