A concept relating to the different stages an industry will go through, from the first product entry to its eventual decline. There are typically five stages in the industry lifecycle. They are defined as:
i. Early Stages Phase - alternative product design and positioning, establishing the range and boundaries of the industry itself.
ii. Innovation Phase - Product innovation declines, process innovation begins and a "dominant design" will arrive.
iii. Cost or Shakeout Phase - Companies settle on the "dominant design"; economies of scale are achieved, forcing smaller players to be acquired or exit altogether. Barriers to entry become very high, as large-scale consolidation occurs.
iv. Maturity - Growth is no longer the main focus, market share and cash flow become the primary goals of the companies left in the space.
v. Decline - Revenues declining; the industry as a whole may be supplanted by a new one.
Don't denigrate him because he did something. Most Pols don't have a clue what they are voting for or against. Sometimes it takes a public outcry before they decide that they have to educate themselves on the issue. Give him credit regardless of the reason he came out against it.
Too often Pols just vote the line. When one steps out in any manner they should be praised.
Johnny Isakson. Mike I told him that a lot of websites are covering who is for and against the bill and that he could see himself covered all over the web if he comes out against it.
The only way that Google or Facebook or other major site could do this would be if they all do. Unfortunately, if they do try it without having a good number of the major site doing it the pols will get back at them.
Make sure you post your real name so that we can respond to you. Anyone that posts to a forum that allows you to use a pseudonym as Anonymous is just simply not worth reading.

Anti-Piracy laws unnecessary?
Without them we would have a world devoid of all creative endeavors. No one anywhere at anytime would ever create anything that could be copied again.
There would be no new movies, no new music, software would never get improved, nobody would ever invent, create, design anything again.
Without AP laws how could any creative professional expect to make money?
Oh, yeah I guess Techdirt is not the place to make that argument.
