Just in time to hear old arguments from the entertainment industry all over again. This time, it's Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton dissing the internet for ruining the industry.
This post is not arguing what he says. That's what TechDirt did brilliantly.
I'm just here to take exception to this:
And my point is this: the major content businesses of the world and the most talented creators of that content -- music, newspapers, movies and books -- have all been seriously harmed by the Internet.'Most' talented creators? Who, the ones at Sony? The ones who last made Angels & Demons which was, if I'm being complimentary, average at best?
The ones signed on by the big names are not always the most talented, just that they sell better.
Talent's very much on display elsewhere online and it doesn't need to have a million dollar marketing price tag on it.
*Yes, I did download a free online copy to sample before I picked up the printed version. See, I just proved his point.
