Briefings Direct

A great deal is being discussed about who controls what when it comes to content, particularly when you're distributing it openly on the Web -- when you're exploring new distribution models, and when you're using new technologies. Business development officers at content-owner studios want a platform that has almost no royalty to it and that is ubiquitous.
