The music industry was never about selling music, it was about selling the pieces of vinyl or plastic with the music on it, or pieces of paper for access to the music. The music was just what was used to sell the object it was on for a higher price. Film industry too, being in the business of selling similar pieces of plastic or tickets to get access to the movie. The movie was just marketing to sell the objects.
So when things went digital, these industries struggled to figure out what they were selling. So they got into the business of selling eyes on a screen. Whatever means to keep those eyes on the screen didn’t matter, so thus the “content” industries.
I know neither of these observations is necessarily original, but it makes sense now how we got here to me. Why they really have no understanding of why slop doesn’t sell the virtual box they want to sell. They are still thinking in terms of selling pieces of plastic and haven’t adjusted their paradigm fundamentally.
