JP Rangaswami:

For many years, I have had to put up with the phrase “content is king”, a phrase I personally find irritating, abhorrent, to be classed with words like “audience”. Looking back, I now realise why content was king. Because we’d managed to drive a wedge between creators and their creations.

It’s not going to be that easy any more, separating the creator from her creation.

I think this wedge may have been meaningful in the days of atoms, when copying the creations was not a trivial task, when distribution was valued and had high barriers to entry. Now all that changes, with the internet becoming that great big copier in the cloud, as Kevin Kelly stated so eloquently in Better Than Free.
