Digital Assets: The Dance Of Content Owner Acceptance
from the slowly,-but-surely dept
Tristan Louis writes "Reading stories after stories about the RIAA lawsuits, broadcast flags, DVD holds for the Oscar, etc... I've started to develop a grand theory of digital assets piracy reactions, assessing 4 stages of reactions to piracy. I thought it might interest Techdirt readers." This sounds about right - though, I wonder if there's ever a point where the industry realizes how much time and money they waste in the early stages.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.
–The Techdirt Team
