I've been having TONS of conversations lately about how retarded the entertainment biz is, and the extent to which the industry that pays my bills will be fucked if attitudes don't change soon. Here's a bit of a conversation I recently had with Lon:
[10:48] skalifowitz: their people [don't know industry "x"] - that doesn't mean get out of the ["x" business]... continue [doing the job function] that their people are good at - and bring in a new team to develop this new business
[10:49] avtlbinder: you think that way for a specific reason they don't... you're smart.
[10:49] avtlbinder: it's a big problem. morons everywhere
[10:49] skalifowitz: they don't look for opportunities
[10:49] skalifowitz: they look for security
[10:50] skalifowitz: just like the music & ent. biz in general
[10:51] avtlbinder: like every biz
[10:51] skalifowitz: they'd rather legislate against their customers than exploit opportuinies that their customers present
[10:51] avtlbinder: that's why they'll eventually go out of biz
[10:51] skalifowitz: they won't go out of biz, it'll just be a very rocky time - starting in another 3-4 years... and a lot of innocent people will loose their jobs because of the lack of vision and ambition on the part of the "leaders"
