Gerd Leonhard is a media futurist who presented at Picnic 2008 in Amsterdam on the topic of "Music 2.0 - a new, web-native music business". Some of the key points made in the presentation include:
1) The traditional Western definition of copyright as the sole source of value for music is dead due to new broadband and social media technologies.
2) Attention, not copies, will be the future source of income for musicians.
3) A new web-native music business model is emerging based on flat rates, usage rights instead of just copyright, and many new revenue streams like sharing and syndication.
4) Strong copyright enforcement does not necessarily equal strong

When every song, every movie, every book and every image can easily be found and shared via high-speed digital networks, and any actual control of the flow of content becomes a thing of the past, how will content creators and their respective industries generate growing revenues, in the future? When search becomes media, and advertising becomes content, what's the future of creativity? Which precise new generatives (>Kevin Kelly) can be nurtured to build this new ecosystem of search, content and communications, based on access to content rather than copies?

The Future Of Media And Content Gerd Leonhard at TIME 08 IstanbulGerd Leonhard
My presentation at the 2008 TIME conference in Istanbul, Turkey (Dec 2, 08): The Future of Content and Media. Topics include:
* Why telecoms and content owners have to work together to develop a new content business model (and what it could look like)
* The consequences of 3G- and Wimax- powered mobility on the content industries
* How Advertising 2.0 and the future of content are intertwined, and what role a new kind of advertising approach could play in content commerce
* How the traditional, western 'copy economy' is shifting to the access, service & sharing economy, and what the corresponding new business models could look like
* Why the flat rate for music is the solution for the current conumdrum, what it means, and how it could work
* Why we cannot succeed by focusing on Control as the main factor of content monetization - and what else could be done, instead! More at http://tinyurl.com/6fa3t8

The connected media economy has turned "the People formely known as Consumers" into Users that seem to be getting more numerous and more powerful by the minute, creating their own content or just annexing whatever they want, downloading or streaming what they want when and how they want, and forming digital communities that are set to become more popular than MTV or VH1 ever were.

Technology vs Humanity: key themes from Futurist Gerd Leonhard's new bookGerd Leonhard
More at www.techvshuman.com -- which side you on? Do we need an EPA for humanity ? Technology vs. Humanity is a last-minute wake up call to take part in the most important conversation humanity may ever have. Will we blindly outsource and abdicate big chunks of our lives to the global technology companies – or will we take back our autonomy and demand a sustainable balance between technology and humanity? By supplying a Socratic and humanistic critique of the Megashifts currently recasting our world, Gerd Leonhard provides the prologue for this great debate. Now is the time to join the dots between big data and digital ethics, to start discussing the moral framework required to steer the evolution of digital life – and to finally articulate the difference between our unique humanity and the rapidly evolving robotic versions. In 1949 George Orwell released Nineteen Eighty-Four – offering us a stark warning of a world dominated by technology and those who own and control it. Nearly seventy years after its publication, Gerd Leonhard investigates how we preserve our humanity in a world that is rapidly beginning to resemble that science fiction.

Next Five years in Mobile
“Marketing as we know it is over. More than ever mobile devices are becoming our ears, eyes and brains. ‘Nowness’ takes its toll.”
Says Gerd Leonhard, (media)Futurist and one of the keynote speakers during Mobile Convention Amsterdam on the 22nd and 23th of May in the Beurs van Berlage. Leonhard states that marketers are nowadays looking at gauging feelings and pleasure by using electronic gadgets that can read brain activity.
Leonhard reveals several interesting mobile developments in the future, for example about Google Glass and Over-the-top-content (OTT), what these developments mean for consumers and marketers and whether or not ‘offline’ the new luxury is.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

The future source of income is
Getting Attention

A web-native music business model...?
Based on flat-rate access first, then Copy
Based on Usage Rights, not (just) Copyright
Based many revenue streams selling-copies
Driven by Sharing, User-to-User
Driven by Syndication (Widgets!)
Decentralized
Powered by next-generation Advertising
Multi-platform access but mostly mobile!
13. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
The result of this exploding
Broadband Culture:
14. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Does strong copyright and strong protection really
equal strong income?
16. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
You can’t really ‘own’ the copy any more but
You can own the Context, the
Meaning, the Relevance, the
Experience, the Embodiment,
the Timing...
17. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Asking the ISPs to deep-
package inspect their traffic
and then enforce the rules of
an industry that has utterly
failed to adapt their business
model, is asking for
Censorship
18. Let’s face it: this is wrong
www.mediafuturist.com
Wanting to disconnect people because they
download music & other ‘content’ is wrong.
Criminalizing 90% of the population because of
a lack of a new model to serve them is wrong.
Exploiting market weaknesses to withhold music
licenses is wrong, and so is ruthlessly
capitalizing on one’s market position
Using copyright as an excuse to extort the users
and the organizations that serve them is wrong

Let’s start sharing in the new revenues!
Start giving PERMISSION
33. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Now,
we must ‘sell’ things
that can’t
be
copied
34. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
The industry has to offer a real, feasible license
to the networks, and enable a Flat Rate that
legalizes the ubiquitous use of music.
If there is no voluntary collective we may
need to enforce its creation.
If the ISPs are forced to unplug people maybe
we should unplug the industry, too?
35. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Yes, there are many issues, but:
The evils of ‘too open’ or ‘too much
freedom’ will always pale compared
to the evils of closed, central,
controlled and authoritarian system

Let me tell you a story about
China, Google and Music
37. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Google Music in China
SHANGHAI, CHINA, August 2008:
Google has launched a free music search service in China that will give users access
to free downloads of songs, while capturing advertising revenue for music providers
in a market already infamous with piracy.
The service poses a challenge to Baidu.com, the #1 search engine in China, along
with other Chinese search engines, faced lawsuits charging that it facilitates copyright
violations through downloads of unlicensed music.
Google said its service would initially let Internet users search tens of thousands of
Chinese songs on its website and download them Top100.cn... Advertising revenue
from the service will be shared among Top100.cn and Google’s music partners aiding
in the search.

A Creative Economy based on
‘Mutual Interest’ ?
“The Internet industry should by no means stand in the
opposite camp against the music industry. Google
always believes profoundly that mutual interest,
rather than monopoly, is the key to sustainable
growth,” Google China president Kai-fu Lee said in a
statement
39. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
A Recipe...?
Establish open, access & usage - based content licenses
Very large, engaged, always-on audiences
Low-cost, ubiquitous, mashed-access, mobile broadband
Telecoms that will become content & service pipes
Large Brands (and their agencies) that must reinvent their
marketing and advertising strategies
Premium Content as well as UGC unprotected, unlimited
Trusted opt-ins and flexible privacy provisions
40. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
The Model
Find the many
Make it ‘feel like free’
Charge the few
Up-sell the rest!
41. Gerd Leonhard Media Futurist
Kevin Kelly: The key is to offer valuable intangibles that can
not be reproduced at zero cost, and will thus be paid for:
1. Immediacy - priority access, immediate delivery
2. Personalization - tailored just for you
3. Interpretation - support and guidance
4. Authenticity - be sure it is the real thing?
5. Accessibility - whereever, whenever
6. Embodiment & Experience
7. Patronage - quot;paying simply because it feels goodquot;
8. Findability & Curation
