Heh. Regarding distribution of media this is interesting. We know how auctions work, right. Well, AMC is predicting it's coming to movies (link is to NYT article) at the theatre.
<http://snipurl.com/mkkt> Rocketboom's success in collecting USD 40k for a weeks worth (as I recall, that the correct figure/duration?) of adverts at the end of each episode is another good example of how efficient the market is becoming. I'm using RB here only because it's the most visible pricing in recent history, of course we're talking about any media production. We live in interesting times. These are old models being applied today. Why? It's the Internet, it's like why male dogs do what they do. Media Distribution + Pricing Mechanism = Web 2.0 (well, part of it anyway) Obviously such variable pricing works because the number of seats in the theatre is limited and they have a half life. It's not dissimilar to the freshness of vegetables on the shelf at the grocer which expire or the freshness of media. If a seat in the theatre goes unsold it's not recoverable. If a bunch of carrots go unsold they are not recoverable. What happens to the price for a "show" on the Internet once it is no longer fresh, can it still be sold as "new"? Can a secondary market develop and, if so, how will it work? -- cheers r Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively my vlog: http://r.24x7.com good deal : http://foo.24x7.com Yahoo!
