As more delivery systems for entertainment producers come on board, you have all these different formats where people are compensated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was telling somebody just the other day, there's technically such a hierarchy in this business. You have film, that's the ideal; then you have TV, and things like web series do not claim as much cred, but the fact is, if the material is solid and I believe and trust in the team that's involved, I don't care what format it is.
The digital and theatrical markets are two different marketplaces.
Consumers are increasingly programming their own entertainment and content experiences.
Getting direct consumer revenue through movies or games or other culture products is something that we are very suitable for.
You really can create a lot of value by putting content and distribution together, particularly if the content is cable content.
Entertainment works by withholding content with the purpose of increasing its value. And, when you think about it, those two are just vastly different approaches, but they can be bridged.
You have a lot of companies developing stuff that's just derivative. If 'The Voice' is the No. 1 show on TV, they say, 'Let's do 100 different versions of 'The Voice.' The problem is, by the time you get to market, it's already saturated, and everybody hates the format.
The people that watch or buy music or listen to TV, I don't think they separate the two as much as the people that are in charge of the production of it.
Amazon makes money differently from a conventional publisher. It is an infrastructure player.
We're in this entertainment business really to give the audience what they want.
