John Flansburgh (of They Might Be Giants) on the future of music and the industry. TMBG has done some interesting things with free content and now they're trying to market individual songs by themselves (ie they've obtained their own digital rights). Flansburgh thinks there's a good chance that we won't be paying for recorded music in the future though, and I agree. Can this be generalized to all digitizable content?
I don't know how you make that happen for movies. They're too expensive to make.
true, Hollywood movies are expensive. And large scale collaborations in general are going to be hard to get organized.
