Controlling Content & Digital Distribution

A targeted discussion on the evolving issues over control and management of content distribution. We will discuss industry hot topics relating to the migration of content to the hands of new players as well as large entities that historically were not content creators (Apple, Google, YouTube, Netflix) and the resulting effects it has on the content ecosystem. We will discuss how independent content creators are building and harnessing the power of their content and brand in ways that could never be possible in the recent past. Discussion will also assess how the variations in pricing of digital goods across different platforms affects content distribution, the benefits (or lack thereof).
