[...] What is most frustrating about these draconian measures to control copyright supported and funded by entertainment industry interest groups, and framed as measures of economics, morality, and legality when in fact the bigger question is one changing models of production, distribution, and consumption. Matt Mason’s “The Pirate’s Dilemma” deals with some of the larger questions surrounding the changing business landscape and how current models employed by a number of industries, including the entertainment industry, are outmoded, reactive, and ultimately doomed 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. Link. [...]

Very nice presentation, Matt. Thank you for taking the time to do the research to write the book about this topic, and doing presentations like this to raise awareness of the industries to “pirating” and its actual usefulness. All of the points you’ve raised are, I think, important for any industry that wants to survive now a days. I only hope that the people at that Keynote listened and thought about their next actions.

I just have one small note for you:

When talking about the video game Wolfenstein, you talked about Id software. Their name isn’t pronounced as “I” “D”, it’s actually id (as in part of the psyche).

That’s a common error most people make, but I just wanted to point that out to you if you ever talk to John Carmack or someone in that company. :P

I enjoyed the presentation, even though most of the info was not new or groundbreaking. The thing I liked about Matt’s presentation was how he gave a awesome example of how to present online culture to corporate culture.

Nice job Matt and best of luck with your book!!!
