Wish List for Digital Media in 2007


Here are some of my hopes for what we'll experience in the digital media world during 2007:

*Resolution regarding copy protection issues between technology companies and content owners
*Fresh, dynamic new companies that have the impact MySpace, YouTube, and Skype have had (with or without the wild valuations) -- just looking for creative, innovative solutions with impact & longevity.
*An elegant, workable, easy-to-use digital home solution that allows for seamless (legal) transfer of content a consumer has purchased & can easily share among all his/her devices (at home and on the road).
*An internet TV solution that allows you to pull deep catalog, long-tail content (a true on-demand solution) for viewing on your laptop or other portable devices when you're on the road (along with a broad slate of cleared current network programming).
*The remaining music holdouts (including The Beatles & Led Zeppelin) go digital and join the party.
*A fair music licensing solution is instituted that allows for an easier, more turnkey licensing system (by both record labels and film studios) of a much greater suite of material to the digital world; and we see an end to the arduous process that exists today among all the constituents. Of course this would need to be something that would work for everyone -- publishers and authors (all media types) included.
