Location:
Camp Soft Landing

Description:

The creative industries are more profitable than ever and creators are seeing a smaller share of that wealth than ever. In a market where a small number of Big Tech and Big Content firms control access to audiences, giving creators more copyright is useless - it's like giving your bullied kid more lunch money. Unless you get rid of the bullies, they'll just take that money, too (and if you give your kid enough money, the bullies will have enough left over to bribe the principal to look the other way). Chokepoint Capitalism - where a small number of firms erect tollbooths between creative workers and their fans - can be defeated, but not by pursuing the failed strategies of the past three decades.
