@Martijn, ik heb het gecorrigeerd!

Hey! Grappig dat je A Pin's Fee aanhaalt. Ik ken Koen-Willem ook nog vanuit die tijd, toen ik zelf nog in Stadskanaal woonde. God, wat was je trots op iets wat in dat dorp ontstaan was en vervolgens buiten de gemeentegrenzen aandacht kreeg! Gouden tijd. Laatste album vind ik ook super, live komt het helemaal uit de verf, altijd een beleving! Kleine correctie: Six minutes south is niet de openingstrack :)

Re: What about the ‘protected’ format of Pecha Kucha Nights?

Lykle de Vries — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 04:46:29 -0000

I agree. Can you imagine that some people find this confusing: something that is open, but protected with a license? Would you think 'open' stuff should always requires protection in the form of such licenses?

I don't see the problem of open and using a licence. Linux is using a licence, WordPress is using a licence. It protects open innovation for people who want to take advantage op an idea of piece of software and turn it into something they will sell. That's mostly the licence. I think that if people are against a licence they should not organize a pecha kucha. But call it some else. That's up to them.

Re: Do you Flattr? I do!

Fair point, but who says they will stick to the 10% fee in the future? If the volume increases, that percentage could drop.

To make the concept 100% 'round', the Flattr-flattr button makes sense. But it might also hinder early development...

my biggest issue with it is the 10% fee, since this means that if every one would be content creators(this isn't the case but still) and everyone would flattr each other in a big echosystem, in the end, that 10% would actually grow much larger. Imo they should just skip the fee and have a flattr flattr button on their page...

Re: Creativity doesn’t pay real money, but it can lead to paid work #uncon16

"When music videos became economically marginal, they acquired artistic credibility. Up-and-coming directors are often keen to make music videos. It raises their cachet and helps them move into TV ads, where the real money is."

I like that, it kind of re-scales everything about music videos back to regular proportions. Now, how long until revenue from TV ads crumbles?

Re: Court Tells Universal We Can Resell Our Promo CDs

Lykle de Vries — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 05:39:49 -0000

Dat zou inderdaad een optie zijn, denk ik. Mogelijk dat UMG het oude model weer kan gebruiken door ze expliciete contracten aan te gaan, waarin de recensent een handtekening zet onder een statement dat de CD van UMG blijft, en voor het retourneren van de CD.

Re: Court Tells Universal We Can Resell Our Promo CDs

harmen_h — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 05:34:05 -0000

Grappig dat een jaren oude restrictie nu in een keer wordt weggevaagd door de U.S. court of appeal.

Zou UMG dit kunnen omzeilen door de promo CD's (v0or onbeperkte tijd) uit te lenen aan de ontvangers, zodat deze promo-ontvangers niet gerechtigd zijn de CD's in eerste instantie door te verkopen?

Re: Survey Says: The iPad Is Not A Kindle Killer

Lykle de Vries — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 02:52:21 -0000

Dat verwacht ik ook. Wat ik met bovenstaande post echter vooral wilde aangeven is dat er ook NU al publiek is dat overduidelijk interesse toont in eReaders van allerlei formaat, en dat men niet moet denken dat één enkel device de markt voor digitale boekenlezers persé hoeft te domineren.

Re: Survey Says: The iPad Is Not A Kindle Killer

bramwillemse — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:28:27 -0000

begrijpelijk, maar ik denk dat dit vooral nog afhankelijk is van de leesbaarheid v beeldschermen. Iets wat in de komende jaren heel snel gaat veranderen (lees: het beeldscherm vd ipad zal bij de 2e generatie al een stuk fijner zijn om mee te lezen)

I guess that behind my question there is also a certain self-awareness that tries to tell me to not put my own personal affairs into the spotlight. But there is all-out detail-about-everything and a more moderated/balanced telling of my adventures... Let me think on that for a bit, thanks!

Re: Some thought on where to go from here

Andrew Dubber — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:15:44 -0000

Actually, the topics are almost irrelevant. I'm more interested in Lykle the person. There are so many blogs out there with abstract analyses of music industry trends, entrepreneurship and so on - I prefer to get a sense of the individual character that is doing the interpretation. A bit of personal narrative, a glimpse into the human side and so on.

That's just me, though. My favourite blogs are always the ones that allow you to understand the speaker, not just the words, and so that's what I try to do on my own site: things I do and stuff I find interesting. That could be anything from a trip to visit family to a theory about online culture. It's the overall sum of the parts - the blog as a whole - that I think is interesting, rather than individual topics.

Besides... what I think about any given topic always changes and develops over time, but I feel like that development would seem like fickle mind-changing if the journey that led me to new thoughts was entirely left out.

On their own, the ideas are interesting - but I always think that more of the person in the posts adds useful and relatable context.

Re: For Musicians: 10 Tips For Turning Your Fanbase Into A Tribe

lykle — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:13:41 -0000

Hi Jon, allright, but having said that: two questions remain:
1. how to make sure that the tribe can eventually take care of itself? 2. What happens if the tribe decides to emphasize/focus on other stuff than the band would like? What to do with a tribe that doesn't want to move on, like Bob Dylan encountered?

Re: For Musicians: 10 Tips For Turning Your Fanbase Into A Tribe

Jon Ostrow — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:53:46 -0000

Thank you for taking the time to share my article with your readers. If you read the rest of the article, I do mention the fact that although tribes exist as a seperate entity from the band, they do need to be started with the band as the initial leader. Once the tribe is established, the band can then pass leadership off to the most dedicated member, or members with proper leadership experience. Feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@miccontrol) if you'd like to discuss it more.

Thanks

Thanks for this great post, and I'm honored to call myself among the "tribe" taking on this surreal project. See you back over at the idea farm....;)
