Amazon makes money differently from a conventional publisher. It is an infrastructure player.

Google can say they are not in the content business, but if they are paying people and distributing and archiving their work, it is getting harder to make that case.

There are literally tens of thousands of very good content providers in the world that don't distribute their content through TV channels.

A company like DreamWorks, all we do is make product. That's all we do. We don't own distribution. We are purely in the creation of content.

Big media companies have lots of money and content, but they have no way to tap into a good base of users.

If we're the country that makes Amazon and Facebook and Twitter, why can't the federal government have websites and digital services that are awesome?

People may be prepared to buy services from Apple and Amazon if they feel these companies do a good job, but we need to ensure that we can speak up when our content is used by other people for their profit. An activist amateur culture will constantly challenge and say, 'This is mine, you're not doing that with it.'

I don't think Apple has to own a content business.

At the end of the day, we still make the things that we make. And we found that the best strategy in this very fluid marketplace is to not be tied into any given platform, but to be able to make good content, and good content will be able to live anywhere.
