Comments on: Amazon, DRM and Demands http://mediactive.com/2009/08/03/amazon-drm-and-demands/ Creating a User's Guide to Democratized Media Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:41:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Delia http://mediactive.com/2009/08/03/amazon-drm-and-demands/#comment-234 Delia Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:31:48 +0000 http://mediactive.com/?p=377#comment-234 Dan, Seth brought it to my attention a while back that you moved your blogging here. I don't know that I have anything new to say on a regular basis -- I feel that I've pretty much said it all on your old blog. For instance, it should be no secret that I believe you are wrong to encourage *for profits* (as opposed to non-profits) to step in and set up a marketplace in situations where the real value would be built by the community (re:your blog entry,'Needed: real-time media auction system'). Anyways, good luck with your book! I don't know what you have in mind exactly, seems like a moving target (if you are very specific it would probably be obsolete by the time you publish it) but certain strategies should be useful even if the media landscape changes drastically in relatively short time. It seems to me that most people could use good advice on how to do an adequate job at keeping up with relevant media without spending an inordinate amount of time on it. Delia Dan,
