T Bone Burnett Goes on Anti-Free Streaming Warpath at Americana Fest Panel
- 6stringmerc 10y agoNot actually a big takedown, it's rather even-handed and quite complimentary to music and technology. He's targeted the "free" part, but based on example of radio airplay and ASCAP/BMI. So his point is logical, I think he does treat the subject more fairly than just an average rant.
- jrnichols 10y ago"Free" as in ad-supported or "Free" as in "users are paying a monthly fee for this service?" Aldean/etc put a window on services that people are paying monthly fees for. Did this approach do anything to curb piracy with DVD/Blu-Ray and Redbox? Studios were initially unhappy with a 30 day delay so they pushed it to 90? Did people even notice or care or did they wind up sometimes strangling off interest in their own movies?
