Some complained that such a model only worked for "big" name acts like Reznor, so I later expanded the original presentation to include many other acts of varying levels of fame and success to show how it could work at many different levels. Most recently, I used those examples to show where I believed the overall music industry was heading.But, it actually goes beyond just the music industry. In fact, I'd argue that these models apply to many different industries, including the media business.
