'Digital Media at a Crossroad'

Here's my piece from Sunday's San Jose Mercury News.

My thesis: "Piracy, and the impulse to defend existing businesses, is distracting the entertainment establishment from chasing exciting opportunities." Like delivering music, movies, TV, and other stuff the way people want it, when they want it. And using technology to support more creative artists in innovative ways.

A lot of examples and quotes got trimmed from this piece for reasons of space. When I have a sec, I may post them here.
