- Summary
- Like music and the news media before it, the film and television business is now facing its time of digital disruption. Major changes are being brought about in global online distribution of film and television by new players, such as Google/YouTube, Apple, Amazon, Yahoo!, Facebook, Netflix and Hulu. Content, Hollywood has always asserted, is King. Yet the power and profitability in screen industries have always resided in distribution. Incumbents in the screen industries tried to control the emerging dynamics of online distribution, but failed. Now, the new, born digital, globally focused, players are developing TV network-like strategies. Content may be King, but these new players may become the King Kongs of the online world. Book jacket.
