Content acquisition, licensing and acquisition | DAC
Formats: Film, TV, multiple digital formats, Cross Platform and Transmedia
Platforms: TV, Mobile, IPTV, and more.
Business models: TV, PAY TV, VOD (Video on Demand), Subcription, Ad-supported, Download to own, etc.
Clients: Producers, Distributors, Sales-Agents, Startups, and more.
The idea is to have a DAC which can purchase content from content producers and then license that content to commercial and corporate entities on behalf of content producers. The DAC should also distribute the content.
Is it possible to build? This DAC would have to interact with entities who adhere to the current set of copyright laws. The DAC would have to respect copyright but would it be able to do this yet still be a DAC?
It seems Linux has found a way to allow people to watch copyright protected content and do these sorts of functions. The question is how to build a DAC which is attractive to content producers, where content producers (especially film makers) can still profit.
The other idea is you can buy ownership off of content producers and do what you want with it. So if the DAC itself makes a profit it can just buy the rights to a catalogue of music, films, scripts, books or whatever.
Your thoughts? Is it possible to do this or should this thought be scrapped?
