But one thing stands out now when compared with the way this corporations have handled the distribution of contents and the reward to producers.
Since they are middlemen, they have been able to influence the outcome or work of producers so as to be generating much more financial reward from these producers since they hold the distribution mechanism. Content producers may decide to go for self distribution, but then when the budget for the enterprise is considered, its best to stick with the corporations who charge outrageously to market and distribute the contents.
There is another problem, a producer may not wish for his/her work to be used for certain works but may find it so. These are some of the problems faced by content producers.
