Digital Media Summit It's Time to Reevaluate the Hit |

I attended the Digital Media Summit in Hollywood yesterday.
Here's the pitch from the event web site:
"Hollywood and content producers are faced with a Hobson's Choice: Make your content available to all for free online - and potentially see your core business cannibalized. Or hold onto copyrighted content tightly...and watch as an amoral generation of youngsters steals it."
Is it really that dire? I saw an awful lot of head-scratching going on. No one seems to know quite what to do about this whole "social media thing." Charlene Li gave a great presentation on social media and groundswell, a primer I think many in the room desperately needed. Thanks Charlene!
