Either that or they want to work out a way to either monetize it or prevent it from interfering with their own digital content.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/looming-war-between-major-labels-787871 A few of the mentioned tipping points were the costly to produce Van Halen and Paul McCartney performances on Kimmel that offered no return on investment (and, in my opinion, anyone who heard the Van Halen live set was disinclined to want to buy concert tickets, and I say that as I fan of the DLR era of VH). I do enjoy the Live on Letterman performances, even if I'm not a fan of the artists the shows are always well produced with good audio. And it does remind me of being on set at the Tonight Show during sound checks by guest bands, which was probably the highlight of being an NBC Page. To the larger issue, the monetization of the internet is going to be a big deal in the coming decade. YouTube is about to announce a new method of cash for views, and apps like Spotify that have gotten away with murder. Sites like HuffPo that used to be dominated by original content are now essentially in the business of click-bait tactics, stealing the content of others and reposting it under their banner. There's going to be a tipping point... as Steve mentioned Netflix's Daredevil marking the end of yet another thing previously thought to be the domain of the network, the old-school content providers are going to have to bend, as are the new-school distribution outlets. Just not sure what that tipping point will be yet. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
