Michelle Wu of MediaZone talks about what some innovators are doing to make money with the digital distribution of entertainment and other content.
As illegal downloads and piracy continue to get the bulk of attention both in the press and in Washington, numerous companies have managed to develop legal models for digital downloads and distribution of content that not only work, but are actually profitable. Whether through cell phones, video-game systems, movie theaters, peer-to-peer systems or advertising-driven, publicly accessible content, innovators have shown that it is possible to make money online without depending on end users to flout the law. Several key players in this field will explain exactly what opportunities exist, and how it is possible to build a stable growing business model around them.
