I was reading this article at Wired about
how porn video clips are one of the most actively swapped files on P2P networks. Makes sense. Some former analyst from
Jupiter Communications
(a firm that brings Dack's Web Economy Bullshit Generator to mind) asserts
that Apple's strategy of offering 99 cent downloads is doomed because people,
including porn hounds, have come to expect that
digital content comes free.
I happen to think 99 cent single song downloads aren't a bad idea, and
I had a laugh when I read this line:
"What they (Apple executives) don't understand is that 99 cents ain't free.
It's a lot more than free. It's 100 percent more than free," Rosso said.
100% more, eh? ;-)
