PUBLIC LECTURE: Lessons from Media Disruption with Professor Amanda Lotz
Much of what we think we know about how the internet ‘disrupted’ media industries is wrong. Piracy did not wreck the recording industry, Netflix isn’t killing Hollywood movies, and information does not want to be free.
This talk draws from Amanda’s new book Media Disrupted: Surviving Pirates, Cannibals, and Streaming Wars, published in October by MIT Press, in which she explores what lessons about technological disruption can be drawn from how the internet disrupted the newspaper, recorded music, movie, and television industries.
