[A2k] Paris TACD Meeting: Draft 'understanding' on RMI and TPMs

[Philippe Aigrain]

My 2 bits on the question asked by Michelle :

The ability to use anonymised data for remuneration schemes depends not so
much on the nature of media than on the nature of users. If they are
commercial entities such as broadcast or publishing instead of non-commerci=
al
personal users, it is likely that one wants to stick to the traditional "pa=
y
based on usage by a given entity" models. When it is the case, the
transaction costs involved become acceptable for all parties (which does no=
t
mean there are no conflicts).

What is truly media-dependent is things like the value chain (for instance =
the
role fo producers), the size of upfront investment, and the role of media
chronology (specific to feature film and some types of other moving image
content). This means that the type of alternative compensation schemes that
can work is media dependent. Let's not jump in one-size-fits-all solutions
also on our "side". However, when one has ensured the possibility of a "pay
based on statistical access or upload" scheme for a given media, it can be
based on anonymised data.

Finally, it will be inevitably more and more difficult to maintain media
chronology in the long run. So the situation will evolve also for film for
instance. No need to rush it. Much more urgent to acknowledge and support n=
ew
forms of film creation at lower cost.
