Got this from RB.. =========================================================== By: TWOMIL Reply To: 54022 by warfield42 Friday, 6 Aug 1999 at 4:17 PM EDT Post # of 54073 WHO PAYS WHO? The consumer always pays. A better question is who collects and distributes what to whom. The cost of a song will ultimately deliver monies to content owners or their agents, VAR's, technology licensees with rights and compression software, and firmware and hardware companies who may retain transaction fees. How, who, how much, is going to be worked out over time and people will be cut out at various levels. The industry and the players are as new as if one asked an oil driller sitting with a barrel of crude in 1908 in Oklahoma how it was going to be used and paid for by everyone in the chain by the year 1948. Twenty years in petroleum is like one year in high tech. BOTTOM LINE: eDig will get their share of revenues and get it quickly and in a sustained fashion. Don't even try to figure out who will prevail in this industry. eDig's mission is to get paid on every handheld produced and get their OS assisting all handhelds operate more efficiently. They have the attention and support of the biggest names in high tech. This is a race in which we're well positioned. MP3 will get some revenue but will have to evolve quickly into much more than what they are today. They are losing money today without competition. Wait till their reporting for the current quarter when their potential customers are reading and listening to ePac music. IMO, JS is on the wrong horse and is about to be thrown off with a thud. Good luck to all and congratulations to all who initiated or increased positions under $2.00. P.S. Bashers are already doing their disappearing act. Stay focused on what counts and for now it's music, work with Intel, and reception of product by Lanier and its customers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Message Board Search Symbol Subject Member Board Directory Computer-Related General Boards Internet-Related Members' Corner Miscellaneous Non-Technology OTC BB Technology Telecommunications The Bull Pub The Writers' Guild Under $4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Home | Community | Free Email | My Bull | Login | Logout | RT Quotes | Copyright 1997-99 Raging Bull, Inc.
