The Pirate’s Dilemma: To Compete or Not To Compete
It’s hard for large organizations that move at glacial speeds to compete with individuals taking their content and creating new distribution systems, revenue streams and business models, but the fall of the major record labels taught the rest of the corporate world a lesson. In many cases, piracy it is helping people to innovate and create new legitimate market spaces.
Last week I did a keynote speech at The Medici Summit on The Pirate’s Dilemma, focusing on when and how it’s best to compete with pirates. When I was writing the book, I thought many large corporations wouldn’t be open to the idea that they can learn from piracy, because of the way the major labels reacted to it, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find many that are trying to do exactly that.

Good presentation.
Very Good presentation.
+5 !
I haven’t read your book, but are you trying to sell a book about the new economic model, using the old economic model? Did you think about the hypocrisy of this before you did this?
Give us a torrent link!!!
Awesome presentation, couldn’t stop watching in the middle even though I really need to sleep. Can’t point out any flaws, except a minor one: Linux isn’t that hard these days, with Ubuntu etc. In fact, it’s said that people who are 100% new to computers often find it easier than windows.
thx for the stream
@3 you can rip/save it to hd if you have firefox
I believe the difficulty was in regard to installing/setting up an OS that is open source v.s. those that are prepackaged.
That was a fantastic presentation.
we need to copy that book
Great presentation. I’ll be buying your book the next time I have the chance. :)
Just watched the presentation, its great, already ordered the book.
This is very interesting, and it is also presentated nicely.
Small issue might be that while you’re talking about Nike, the camera takes a very long time to focus at the screen which is obviously showing an Air Force One shoe. Small issue yeah, but it annoyed me quite a bit.
Have to be a great presentation, when even I can’t find anything meaningful to criticise :)
that’s good is that. well researched. ditto to #4 about linux though.
very good explanation.
should forward that video to the music industry and film industry, then maybe they will do something new for a change.
Lol, Quote from video: ” If you photocopy, I’ll sue you. “
TL;DW
Watched the whole thing, and enjoyed it immensely .
Matt i am so deeply happy that you can make a living from this, is better than your previous revenue stream selling religion :D
please please please keep up the great work selling your navel diversion to the corporate idocracy
these guys are buying your line that eneryone everyday is owing the collective copyright owners $12.45 for singing happy birthday in public …
these guys are buying your line there is a Professor in Bath that has a 3D printer that can print a 3D printer that can print a nike shoe?
you are a historical fuktard and i am not buying
you are truly a whore profiting on the back of a technological revolution you have no clue about
$12.45Million

Epic fail.
hi nike how you doin?
I have to say the camera man needs to learn how to use the camera.
listen to his story
he tells a story where the principle of singing happy birthday in public etc means everyone is liable for $12.45Million everyday. you are fukin insane
he tells a narrow intepretation from the aspect of pirate radio which:
1. is illegal everywhere
2. is illegal everywhere
3. is illegal everywhere
he collects his revenue from large copyright holders who pay him to educate them in the failing of their system. he is systemic. he is one of them
he equates failings in the incumbent system with ‘piracy’ something which must be defeated whilst at the same time advising change in the encumbent system outside of its capabilities
for you mr epic failure it is so difficult to follow and understand
for the remainder of us we are using a new system which has zero regard to the old and zero concern for your pay packet
choose if you wish to heed the advice of Matt Fukwad and prolong your agony
one principle your forgot: …
you do not own the music
whaamy!
