The document discusses open business models and trends disrupting traditional content industries like music, video, books, and textbooks. It describes how physical distribution of digitizable content is under threat. Initiatives for open textbooks and learning materials from projects like CK-12, Curriki, and Bloomsbury Academic are summarized. The Flatworld Knowledge business model for open textbooks that generates revenue from optional access to print/digital copies and study aids is presented as a case study. The document concludes new business models must absorb disruptive trends but are still untested, and experimenting with open content aggregation could benefit existing models.

Apple had net revenue of $4.9 billion for “Other
music related products and services”. According
to a footnote in the 10-K, that includes “iTunes
Store sales, iPod services, and Apple-branded
and third-party iPod accessories.” The category
represented 7.6 percent of total net revenue.

23. “Digital textbooks done
wrong”
E-textbooks are too expensive
• The e-textbooks we surveyed cost on average exactly the same as a new hard copy of
the same title bought and sold back to the bookstore.
• The e-textbooks we surveyed cost on average 39% more than a used hard copy of the
same title bought and sold back online.
Printing is costly and difficult
• Printing was limited to 10 pages per session for each of the e-textbooks we surveyed.
• Buying and printing half of an e-textbook was three times the cost of buying a used
hard copy and selling it back to the bookstore, for the books we surveyed.
E-textbooks are difficult to access
• Students have to choose between using the book online or using it offline - they cannot
do both.
• Most (75%) of the e-textbooks we surveyed expired after 180 days, so students do not
have the option to access their books in the future.

“open source textbooks”
Open textbooks "are textbooks that are freely available
with nonrestrictive licenses. Covering a wide range of
disciplines, open textbooks are available to download and
print in various file formats from several web sites and
OER repositories. Open textbooks can range from public
domain books to existing textbooks to textbooks created
specifically for OER. Open textbooks help solve the
problems of the high cost of textbooks, book
shortages, and access to textbooks as well as providing the
capacity to better meet local teaching and learning needs"

Editor's Notes
Confronted with the digital age most of the recording industry bristled. They saw changing modality, a shift to digital music as a threat to their entrenched distribution channels. Rather than embrace digital distribution the likes of the RIAA, when confronted with innovation in their sector, lashed out with lawsuit after lawsuit, starting with the famous case against Napster. The RIAA's strategy was built on the sole premise of trying to prevent people from using file sharing networks so their existing distribution networks could be propped up indefinitely, and they celebrated Napster's decline into bankruptcy as a sign of success for this strategy.Clearly most saw the writing on the wall, but rather than change, the RIAA and the industry as a whole buried their head in the sand, hoping to limp along till change was absolutely inevitable, or worse thinking that they were immune to change. By all accounts, the RIAA was woefully unsuccessful in this strategy. Today, new artists live or die based on their ability to move product in the digital space, and The Beatles move at long last into the digital space singles that the last bastions of support for traditional, physical music distribution is crumbling. In fact, physical "record" sales peaked in 1999 at $14.65 Bn. By 2007 Physical sales of music content were already less than in 1993 having reduced to around $10 Bn, and by then end of 2010 it is expected digital music sales will finally overtake physical sales all together. Clearly the sector was in massive trouble with its decision to resist digital sales and the hundreds of millions spent by the RIAA on legal bills were largely a complete and utter waste of money. Those precious funds should have instead been put into revitalizing the industry digitally. The RIAAs actions in this light were reprehensible.
