DISQUS

Interesting post and I agree with most of it. Many different models being talked about but none of them being pursued yet with a vengeance. The record industry re-grouping,pfft! yeah, nothing is impossible but I'd say better chance of a pure marketing company to fill that void in that way.

Radiohead and Trent neither are saints and yeah I think Trent is the Net savvier of the two. In RH's case I think they were just throwing crap against the wall and see what would stick more than trying to be revolutionary. What they probably didn't expect was they'd do better with web pirates and tight-wads(I know being redundant here) coughing up some money which when aggregated will probably pile up higher than cd release. besides who wants stupid cd now that it's not fresh anymore and it's all been jacked into people's IPods for months.

Trent-no dummy but not a businessman either. The rock star model is dead. These people are an anomaly from previous scarcity proprietary walled model. Not gonna see many of them in a few more years so enjoy it while you can.

See also recent posts by Mark Cuban on some ideas and also Lefsetz on RH's true colors.

OK I'll venture a guess. I'm in Taiwan, so blog is probably blocking Asian IP's out of fear of spam?? Oh well...

Yeah it seems that the web and the socnets are the haven for the petty OCD kids. Why not take Ning to task for what it's users are thinking?
