Synopsis of Wizards of OS panel: “making money from free bits . . .”
iCommons has a great synopsis of the panel “Business and the Commons,” which included speakers from across Europe and Brasil and covered a wide spectrum of existing open business models. Music-based businesses Magnatune, Tecno Brega and Jamendo were discussed, as well as video based models like the much celebrated “Elephant’s Dream” project and the burgeoning Nigerian film industry, Nollywood; more general copyright and digital content models like the Copycan project and RegisteredCommons were also taken up.
It’s a wonderful catalogue of the alternative ways business models are adapting to the digital context.
