DISQUS

last100: CBS, Last.fm create “communities around content”, not just another music streaming site

    As CEO of We7, I think any move such as the Last.FM deal is fabulous, it shows that slow but continued acceptance to change by teh music industry which will eventually allow teh digital world reach its full potenial. There are still so throw backs with the 3 play limit for them being a classic one and there is still a lot of hard work to prove ad funded models. However at We7 we have hada tremendous first year acheive many things that people said we would have no chance in doing. People value music more today than any other time and people get confused between 'free' music and someone else pays. Overall I think teh outlook for digital if very promising, many new models will come and go but the ones that are allowed to scale will show teh skeptics teh full overall potential
    Cheers
