    The Balkanization of media will continue, until it doesn’t

    • I said in a post earlier in thread suggesting you can buy a NFT (cinema ticket) for a film which would then allow you to watch it free for life on any platform.microkorg

    • As I've also said in a post, film rights prevent them from being viewed on "any" platform. This a commercial & legal issue, not a tech one. NFTs solve nothing.palimpsest

    • any plattform... sure... thats sound so naive its hard to take.neverscared
    • NFTs ain't shit. Even a behemoth like Disney is not allowed to stream Star Wars IX due to EU law or Iron Man due to previous contracts.palimpsest
    • What if film makers going forward choose not to tie themselves into these restrictive traditional rights or contracts? Thats what article is about.microkorg
    • It will take some balls to do this first, but if others follow then it'd really hurt existing platforms based on traditional contract methods.microkorg
    • Films need more financing before creating them so film is a particular case where this would be harder to work. Kickstarter makes more sense to me.palimpsest
    • @palimpsest as someone very close to actual, real, film financing and financiers, you have no idea what you're talking about.shellie
    • Also, yes, legacy contracts are a problem. I worked at Sony Music in 2001-2003 and yes, it was a problem then with emerging media as well.shellie
    • And, film and television stood by and watched music f*it up, and adapted quicker. I have conversations with financiers about this all the time. They're excited.shellie
    • Eventually the music industry got it together but about 15 yrs too late to be in the drivers seat of change. Untold fortunes left on the table.shellie
    • I for one, am very much looking forward to the swift changes in how entertainment will operate in the coming years.shellie
    • @shellie
      You have debunked every one of my points. I stand corrected.

    • I can see film-buff whales chipping in and funding NFT movies going forward. So yes crowdfunding like you suggested Palimpsest but less investors ;)microkorg
    • I have no idea of what I'm talking about.
