What can the tech industry do to really disrupt the film and music industries?
What innovations can really change their business model?
What can really take the power out of the hands of these huge companies with their armies of lawyers and lobbyists?
If Silicon Valley is all about innovation, how can that strength be used to win this fight once and for all?
- narcissus 15y agoI know it's probably not right, but I was thinking this morning of one way to get rid of the control. I would love to see one of the big tech companies go to each one of these politicians and offer them a ridiculous amount of money to publicly declare their new found opposition and vote it down. And then I want to see that company public remand that politician for being all about the money. Taken to an extreme, if there were a handful of these guys that would take some cash to turn around (and I know that may be lots of cash) and then for the company to then take out a full page ad in the major newspapers: "This person is so easily swayed by money... do you really want them in charge?". Destroy them. Publicly humiliate them and see how quickly they all stop playing these games. Who knows, you might even be able to skip step one and just take out the ad "This person gets paid $X a year by the recording industry and they are destroying your freedoms". That's what I'd love to see, at least...
