I love these videos. I mentioned in a past post how it seems people forget "Marketing Myopia" so easily (I wonder, at times, whether certain businessmen have even read it). This is that essay in a nutshell, taken to its simplest terms.
Comcast is in power to "change" consumer behavior simply because it *knows* options do not exist. For consumers, there aren't many ways to access the internet or watch TV through the speeds/offerings available in their area.
That's true, but a business plan based on this idea makes the erroneous assumption that there will never be another option. By doing this, they're just begging for better alternatives to pop up. It's pretty ridiculous long-term planning.
Because they did not design the shirts. This would be like suing HP because someone used one of their printers to print a copyrighted work. Zazzle isn't making money off of selling designs; they're making money off of giving others the possibility to make any kind of T-shirt they want.
I can see why news organizations would just replace incorrect information as opposed to striking it through. Their purpose is to provide information. Strikethroughs might confuse some readers. If they simply correct their information and take the old stuff out, that accomplishes their end goal.
Yeah, that's pretty bad that they would do this with no communication, explanation, or, from what we can tell, complaint from the real person. Are they going to ban fictional characters next?
You're right. I wasn't meaning to be derisive about lawyers and their function. But when people turn to them for business advice, that seems to be problematic.
You hear about people and companies turning to accountants for advice on business plans, and that's bad enough. Lawyers, though ... *shivers*. Too many people these days seem to think that anyone with a suit and money is an expert on business.
