Some startup needs to aggregate, give cloud storage, and iPad/roku/boxee apps for these things.

- garrydanger 15y agoI really like this new model but it got me thinking about how hard it's going to be for Aziz to push his content to different types of media. Traditionally the labels would handle that (usually incompetently) but for a startup to focus on this niche would be awesome.

- bad_user 15y agoYou mean like iTunes? Eliminating the middleman is the whole point of these people that advertise and sell their DRM-free shows straight from their websites.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoNot like iTunes, cross platform and open to anyone's business (iTunes won't accept just any content)
- mistercow 15y agoEliminating the middleman is not the point. Avoiding the negative consequences of having a middleman is the point, and eliminating the middleman is merely a means to that end. If you can be a middleman without (or with fewer of) those negative consequences, then you're working toward the same goal.
- delackner 15y agoYou're splitting hairs. Louis CK's special raked in more than a million dollars. The website cost him about 30k to produce. iTunes would have sucked up TEN TIMES that.
- mistercow 15y agoI did not say that iTunes was the answer. I said that a startup that offers inexpensive distribution services to entertainers and artists using this low-price, no-DRM model could be the answer.
