This follows from the post below….here’s a very interesting speech by documentary film producer Peter B. Kaufman at the Creative Archive’s launch seminar…he has a new company called “Intelligent Television“, and his company is launching a year-long study on the economics of open content this month.
In his speech, “I would like to toss down the gauntlet and say that in publishing, music, television, film, art, software, technology, there are business cases–simple business cases, and sophisticated business cases–that support the economic wisdom of providing certain sectors of society, and sometimes the public as a whole, with materials, intellectual property, knowledge, and know-how for free.”
He also makes a case for Creative Archives expanding to U.S.: “Keeping the Creative Archive a U.K.-only affair will require genius and technology that even our friends the Chinese, who try to do the reverse, cannot muster.”
