Ok, let’s put the money where the mouth is. We have a new recording project in the works. $40,000 production budget and $50,000 for marketing (that’s a very, very low figure BTW). Are you willing to put up the money for this since today’s standard record label deal is a P&D? C’mon David, you said this is the wave of the future!

Face it: The genie is out of the bottle. A digital file is a clone. The only difference is price point. So why not just lower the “new file” price point and be done with it. We’re heading towards a tiered subscription model anyway, just like cable. So, we should all just get on with creating that and stop trying to go backwards and playing price games like the airlines.

The Digital Content Exchange, involving step one, immobilization, step two, registration and step three, verification… is the only way to do it. C: http://goo.gl/EVtqk

If the record labels offered a real incentive to own, illegal downloading would decrease, based on simple user preference. The DCE, which gives you cloud access to all your music, films and books, gives you all the same rights to them that you had in the physical days .. and more. It is ownership, on steroids.
