The BBC reports on the new Alliance for Digital Progress. A lobby group to fight stupidity in the US congress, to fight the strangle hold of old grey-haired business on the media industries. They want to promote innovation, which the likes of Disney, BMG, etc are so clearly trying to beat into submission.
And on the same note an article on wired about the Civil War in Sony, between their entertainment and electronics division. One being very US and committed to making a profit at the expense of all around, and one being very Japanese and having a 50 year legacy of innovation and market dominance.
Perhaps Sony will kick off the stagnation their entertainment/media division is helping to perpetuate and kick the new digital media industry into full gear.
Go Sony… You can do it!!
