Keen On Robert Levine: Is Google Killing Our Culture? (TCTV)

Screen shot 2011-11-03 at 1.00.31 PMAccording to Robert Levine, the author of the just published Free Ride: How Digital Parasites Are Destroying the Culture Business, and How the Culture Business Can Fight Back, the Internet is destroying the market for high quality culture. Blaming both the ideology of free culture and online piracy, Levine argues that the digital world is making it increasingly hard for professional writers, journalists, musicians and film makers to make a living selling their content.Levine, the former executive editor of Billboard magazine, isnt necessarily the first to make this argument but Free Ride is probably the most credible and coherent book to date on the impact of the Internet on our culture.
