#infdist is only on Twitter . This panel has no defined place or time—and it never concludes. Discussions & debate are ongoing.
Some questions the #infdist panel will address:
When digital copies can be infinitely distributed, how can the film business adapt?
Will some of the studios go belly up? Which film buyers will adapt first?
How much & how quickly will exhibitors be affected?
What role will P2P networks play? Will harsh measures like Britain's Digital Economy Bill accomplishing anything?
Most #infdist panelists are in film, but some are authors, musicians. The digital age affects all content producers—all feedback is welcome.
