Making Money Off Of Digital Cameras
from the tricky dept
Let's see. Here's an industry that had a successful business model for years, that's suddenly been thrown into turmoil by a digital alternative, that in many ways caught the industry by surprise. The Economist is taking a look at the digital photography business. While the money used to be in printing photographs, digital photography makes printing much more difficult (and often not necessary at all). Unlike their counterparts in the entertainment industry, Kodak hasn't been (as far as I know) whining to the government about forcing all digital cameras to only be printed at photoshops. Instead, they're trying to change with the times, and are experimenting with a variety of business models to capture money from digital photography.
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.
