who says producers can no longer profit from creating content, the changes in tv prove that content producers are going to make MORE money
the only people that are losing are distributors of content (tv stations)
the shift is from liciencing fees to advertising/promotional revenue
American idol for example make $3 million an episode from product placement (3 sponsors) and only 2 million from liciencing fees (4 commercial spots).
The flattening of the distribution channel means MORE money for content creators not less
because it means you have direct contact to the advertisers.
The model just has to change (ie going from no product placement to 2k products placed )
