Description
Streaming, Sharing, Stealing: Big Data and the Future of Entertainment by Michael D. Smith and Rahul Telang. The traditional television programming model is being disrupted by big data analytics. Netflix's House of Cards, which gauged its show's potential from subscriber preferences and uploaded all 13 episodes at once, has changed the way companies approach entertainment industries. This book explores how these changes are affecting film and TV production, distribution, pricing, piracy, and more. The authors examine niche products, product differentiation, price discrimination, and incentives for users not to steal content. To survive and succeed in this new landscape, businesses must adapt rapidly and creatively. With examples from various industries, including publishing and music, Smith and Telang discuss the implications of big data on the entertainment sector.
