Viacom and You Tube.

by Richard McKinnon at 02:03PM (PDT) on March 16, 2007 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Viacom hit YouTube with a billion dollar law suit this week. Summer Redstone's other property, CBS did a deal with YouTube this week. Deduction? Viacom is aiming to squeeze Google for cash to carry Viacom show video. But if they don't? Then Viacom will suffer, denied access to the biggest video marketplace in the world. Video and TV are making the same mistakes as music did. Threatening rather than dealing. Complaining rather than acting.

And the biggest laugh? Viacom CEO apparently doesn't like their "professional" content side by side with amateur hour. Dope. That's what makes their stuff look so good.

Plus, side by side professional, amateur, drama, actuality, reality, news, history, music, is the way people consume on the net and in real life now. He has worked that out yet? There must be a vanity issue. Or. He must be middle aged.

Perceptric Forum

This Forum is where the partners in Perceptric Limited invite you to join us and explore issues that impact on business, consumers and communications.

Perceptric's mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations.

The essence of this mission is for us to be clear thinking about business and change. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.

Each of the partners in Perceptric has been extremely successful in their chosen field by working this way. More than theory we each know it works.

As a company we work with our clients in the United States, Asia and Pacific regions, including Australia, to maximize their opportunities in an ever accelerating change environment.
