Studios Won't Make Same Mistakes as Labels

That's all just posturing. The studios recognize the tremendous value in the ability to distribute their content on demand to anyone with a browser rather than having to go through cable and satellite broadcast networks, movie theatres and DVD retail outlets. The fact that users can easily now upload and organize that video content for other users is an absolute dream situation for these studios. After all, do you really think that the tens of thousands of people who currently control how that professional content gets programmed, broadcasted and otherwise distributed can compete with the 1.5 billion people who now can do that for themselves and other fans on ever new platforms?

No, they can't stop that revolution, either. But unlike the idiot record labels that never even seriously tried to create a legal, monetized P2P distribution outlet for their content, the studios are indeed in discussions about figuring out how to build a user-organized and fan-monitored YouTube-like site.

The key here is that when the studios do that, they'll have to allow other sites like YouTube to do so also. Indeed, we designed BoomRevolution.com to become the de facto standard for that user-organized and fan-monitored professional content movement from the start. I've learned a lot from dealing with the studios and their reps, and they are really aggressive about figuring this new movement out.

There will be many other distribution outlets that empower fans in ever more ways that will crop up as the studios finish embracing the revolution. And that's the upshot: more content, more control, more distribution outlets to more people, all of which can and will be monitored and policed by fans and end users. That's why I say that the entropy of these Revolutionomics is so virtuous. And more to the point, it's why I continue to call content king, and this year I've started scaling into some of the best content owners like Disney (DIS Quote).
