  • My Friend P2p
    MY FRIEND P2P Music and Internet for the Modern Entrepreneur Lucas Pedersen Bachelor’s Thesis December 2010 Degree Program in Media Digital Sound and Commercial Music Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences 2 ABSTRACT Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Program in Media Digital Sound and Commercial Music PEDERSEN, LUCAS: My Friend p2p – Music and Internet for the Modern Entrepreneur Bachelor’s thesis 81 pages December 2010 _______________________________________________________________ The music industry is undergoing an extensive transformation due to the digital revolution. New technologies such as the PC, the internet, and the iPod are empowering the consumer and the musician while disrupting the recording industry models. The aim of my thesis was to acknowledge how spectacular these new technologies are, and what kind of business structure shifts we can expect to see in the near future. I start by presenting the underlying causes for the changes and go on to studying the main effects they have developed into. I then analyze the results of these changes from the perspective of a particular entrepreneur and offer a business idea in tune with the adjustments in supply and demand. Overwhelmed with accessibility caused by democratized tools of production and distribution, music consumers are reevaluating recorded music in relation to other music products. The recording industry is shrinking but the overall music industry is growing. The results strongly suggest that value does not disappear, it simply relocates. It is important that both musicians and industry professionals understand what their customers value and how to provide them with precisely that. _______________________________________________________________ Key Words: Music business, digital revolution, internet, piracy, marketing.

    Moviegoers - or perhaps more accurately, lovers of cinema - are frustrated. Their frustrations begin with the discrepancies in film release strategies and timing. For example, audiences that saw Quentin Tarantino’s1 2 Django Unchained in the United States enjoyed its opening on Christmas day 2012; however, in Europe and other markets, viewers could not pay to see the movie until after the 17th of January 2013. Three weeks may not seem like a lot, but some movies can take months to reach an international audience. Some take so long to Piratez Are Just Disgruntled Consumers reach global theaters that they overlap the domestic USA Blu-Ray release. This delay can seem like an eternity for ultiscreen is at the top of the entertainment a desperate fan. This frustrated enthusiasm, combined industry’s agenda for delivering digital video. This with a lack of timely availability, leads to the feeling of M is discussed in the context of four main screens: being treated as a second class citizen - and may lead TVs, PCs, tablets and mobile phones. The premise being the over-anxious fan to engage in piracy. that multiscreen enables portability, usability and flexibility for consumers. But, there is a fifth screen which There has been some evolution in this practice, with is often overlooked – the cornerstone of the certain films being released simultaneously to a domestic and global audience.

This digital video th th ecosystem is not complete without including cinema, and in theaters on the 10 and 17 of December in most it certainly should be part of the multiscreen discussion.

Buonocore A Thesis in the field of Sustainability for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 Copyright 2016 Cathryn E. Buonocor Abstract This study examines and compares the environmental footprint of video game distribution on last generation consoles, current generation consoles and personal computers (PC). Two different methods of delivery are compared on each platform: traditional retail on optical discs and digital downloads in the U.S. Downloading content has been growing and is used to distribute movies, music, books and video games. This technology may change the environmental footprint of entertainment media. Previous studies on books, music, movies and television shows found that digital methods of distribution reduced emissions. However, prior research on video games, looking only at previous generation consoles, found the opposite conclusion.

  • Raider of the Lost Art - What Kind of a Product Is Film?
    Raider of the Lost Art - What Kind of a Product is Film? Marketing Master's thesis Niklas Rinne 2013 Department of Marketing Aalto University School of Business Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Abstract Purpose of this study Film is a complex product that can be used in many different ways. The age of the digitalization has affected not only the product itself, but the way we consume it as well. If once film could be seen as a magical experience, then nowadays it reminds more of a disposable product. New innovations give us the freedom of enjoying it whenever and wherever. My objective in this research is to reveal the current value of film. How do we perceive films nowadays, how do we watch them and in the end what kind of a product film is in 2013? Methodology The theoretical framework discussed the literature relating to postmodernism, consumer culture theory, hedonic consumption, and downloading. The empirical part of the study is of the qualitative manner. The long interviews (McCracken, 1988) were used as data collection for the study. The ten participants all had a different approach to film, some worked with film and some studied film. Through these discussions I found ten different perceptions of film and ways of using film. The discussions revealed not only interesting ideas and concepts about the format of art itself. The question “how we use film “eventually lead to a much more fascinating question “why is it that we use film in that specific way”… Findings Every time an individual puts a film on, he/she has a goal.

Other services should be added and maintained by contributors. The main reason is that we won’t be able to support non-free services (even those who have a trial period). Support for free services (even with limitations) might be added by the team after the release 1.0. • adding a new service/extension should be easy: you just write a javascript plugin 1.2 Installation This page will guide you throught the installation of MellowPlayer on the supported operating systems.
