Robert Collings commented on DRM, Digital Content, and the Consumer Experience: Lessons Learned from the Music Industry

As one who worked in the music biz for a decade and watched with some bemusement at major label behaviour, I have to say that is a fantastic presentation.

It is interesting thought that the DRM debate (argument?) seems to be an either/or proposition.

It would be great to see him back in 2011 extending this presentation beyond linear distribution methodologies, since that isn’t how punters consume digital content.

Looking forward to the book, er… ebook.
