Internet free media = backfire

[Dooby]

you gotta be kidding. back in the day, photographers used to be able to sell the right pictures to publications for bank, often enough to make a living if they were good enough. Now picture taking is a dime a dozen.... Totally shrunken market.

Same today...celebrity babies, scandals, but what you're talking about has to do with market saturation. That doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people making money off photography. I'm confused what your point is.

I'm saying that the saturation is the result of quality photography becoming easier and more accessible.

Penthouse didn't shift their business model quick enough. Plus, their product was so-so compared to what was available.

A lot of video production companies have gone out of business. Not enough to make waves or news. The next wave will entail all the Internet video production companies. They need to hire some lawyers and start hammering the file-sharing sites. Why?
When they fold, there's not going to be money for new media because people want it for free and no one is going to have the money to buy equipment, cameras, video editing equipment, and pay for actors, and host servers and pay for website designers. It's all going to backfire... and there is going to be a dearth of new media.

dude there are phones with 4k recording now. All that equipment is going to cost peanuts. That whole model is goign the way of the Dodo bird and anyone not able to realize that is going to suffer the consequences. Media as we know it has/is changing.

You can put on any show you want for free and reach millions, why do you think these networks are pissing themselves over youtube channels with millions of subscribers. Pirated or not in another 10-15 years TV as you know it now will not exist.

Well, things require money. Taking a video is cheap. Hosting it on a server is cheap. Hosting it on a server that can handle high traffic, that's going to cost money.

Tv killed the radio star. It just happens. You have to evolve or get left behind.

Dont worry internet 2.0 is on the way. In 5 years with 3 factor verification nothing will be free or anonymous. Verizon wants to start charging websites for the traffic they generate. Digital IP laws are no longer in their infancy and are being written as we speak. The days of the anonymous internet pirate are almost over, download your movies music and porn while you still can.

This ups the benchmark and makes it easier to get in kinda. The internet has also given art/photography a resurgence. It makes you as a photographer have to step your game up to get noticed and get the big contracts/assignments. I would say back in the day it was more of a hustle, it was more about being that guy who they call to take the pics but now but you gotta be good so its a good thing. Lots of money to be made.

Ah, someone else is also on my same stream of thought.
.
Cloud storage got created for a reason. It still seems like media can be free. But, now you can "pseudo" own music. You store it in the cloud. However, the cloud server companies can now install programs to check for pirated material. Did you buy it or upload it from another source. If you did get it from someone else, they will delete it and maybe fine/arrest you.
Old forms of digital storage are going to be locked into the technology of the past. If you have music on MP4 and MP3, the latest format will be MP5 and won't accept MP4 or MP3. The technological equivalent of playing an 8-Track, vinyl record, cassette or music CD.

the Internet has shifted power from the old guard to the people. Look at all the creative shyt people are doing on YouTube and on podcasts. We are getting rid of all the gatekeepers and putting that power into the hands of the creative types that used to get the shaft in the past.

Democrization of the media is not a bad thing at all for the consumers.
