• How Does This Challenge My Traditional Thinking?
• High cost acquisition Events are replaced by a
  Sustained Content Plan at an overall lower yearly
  cost.
• Works for Hire that include high costs for I.P.
  rights, are replaced by Licensed Data that
  enables the same user base at a fraction of the
  cost.
• Currency becomes affordable.
• The economics of special acquisition become more
  affordable because it is always tied to an
  existing operation.
