Kindle replace he eventually books? (FLICKR / KODOMUT)
Providing £ 650,000 per month to 9.99 dollars: a bargain, you might say. Maybe? The wide access to culture is still respectable, but half a million “in the bush” (streaming!) They worth better than one “like”? That is the question. Naïve? not that much.
The quality of the works will not save libraries
The new offer Unlimited Kindle is not a simple marketing offers. It is symptomatic of a mode of mass consumption, which takes on new forms, insidiously extended into the field of culture. Hypermarket 70s marketing on the net by the giants of all consumer goods, paid streaming becomes the inevitable toll for music, film and book soon.
Our major our major booksellers and publishers are misguided lorqu’ils thought that the quality of content being a strong protection to their sad decline.
Consider a digital book as a good material consumption, this is where the big mistake.
Without support, control its dissemination is impossible. And our laws Hadopi: anti-sharing, anti-robbery with threat of sanctions, do much smiling teenagers and even older
A blasting rule. book market
Ultimately, the subscription offer in unlimited form probably cover all the catalogs literary works because it necessarily leads to forms monopolies. The question is who will be the lucky guy? Deezer, Spotify paved the way for music. Netfix for television series. Oyster and Scribd for books …
Cultural industries were quick to spread the principle of global license, shared financing system based on a premium internet subscription. Probably rightly, given the complexity of repayment rights holders.
If the “unlimited subscription ephemeral” model becomes the rule, and it seems inevitable, it’s a blast from the profession looming. The traps are everywhere.
Authors, publishers, readers, all are losers
The authors first. It is as if the entire ecosystem of this market was based only on the perfect harmony of supply and demand: the seller / player regardless of the primary actors, specifically the authors
.
What to expect? No immediate cash, or nearly out of pre-financing, but weighted weak and smoothed related to consulting a catalog subscription revenue. Price to pay for writers, cheap for readers too, I must admit. But at what price
Publishers: it is their outright disappearance. Considered useless (if not harmful), since they pump circuit the book economy. One can think what they like for their crimes – nepotism, commercial facility, duplicity, pressure distribution networks, they are nevertheless the only guarantors of a knowledge which revealed some major
. readers of geese that glutton (almost) free with great fanfare guides, advice, recommendations made by those marketing books. Objectivity rigor. Culture galore for suckers; it well enough.
Internet, route of compromise?
Between culture mass not mastered, and elite culture refuge in his ivory tower, there no other way? Internet also seems the perfect medium to highlight quality work that editing can not handle, talents forgotten or undisclosed profitability requirements that exclude forgotten or new forms of literature: poetry, new soap operas, rap, calligrammes …
bet that small sites will exploit these resources. Be small condemns creativity. That is the hope.

Hmm I ‘m not sure (I do not have the answer). I feel that it has brought more people into theaters.
