As we all know the media has a lot of power on the opinion of people, and I think there is a way to get them on our side of the debate.
Since the introduction of the internet print media outlets always had the problem to monetize their content. The usual payment wall are user unfriendly and have high fees.
That was the reason why they were hyping the Apple iPad so much because of their hopes to get a revenue stream again from the Apple ecosystem. Well that didnt work out to well since Apple charges 30% and is excluding the a lot of the outlets.
Now bitcoin offers the perfect payment solution for publisher, certain articles could be be behind a 10-20 cent paywall and the user would have to click a simple OK to confirm the payment of 10 cent with his in the browser integrated wallet. The user doesnt even have to signup an account with that publisher.
TV channels that publish their content online could put a 20 cent paywall in front of selected content. The amounts would be to small to really motive people to pirate that content.
I think its very important to have the Media on our side of the debate and to explain them the benefits they would have if bitcoins would be used mainstream. The positive press would accelerate the adoption of bitcoin.
I dont have any contact to any people from that area .
Does anyone have an Idea how to explain to the media that the micropayment aspect of bitcoin is the perfect monetization solution for publisher.
