The World Wide Web has made unlimited storage of media files possible. Due to the lack of physical media formats, content is shared at a fast rate while the old media formats are considered irrelevant. Because it entails convenience, digital content delivery is becoming the preferred format in sharing media. This opens the market to more players which can trigger commodity prices to go down.
By not using the media formats that consumers have been accustomed to, there is a bigger chance of getting attention and making profit easily. Anyone can own the files by searching for them at streaming or download websites. Aside from the newly produced content, movies or songs that came before the Internet are converted to digital format and are shared online.
Digital distribution also gave birth to trial versions and book previews that entice the customers about their upcoming products. The producer can also offer a parcel of the entire file for a minimal fee in hopes of collecting enough funds to finish the entire project. In the gaming industry, players are allowed to download a portion of the entire game before the full game is released. Online bandwidth has made it possible for several consumers to get the file simultaneously.
Media sharing online also gave rise to peer-to-peer file sharing wherein media files are shared from one computer to the other. This type of file sharing also allows a user to acquire media files for free without sacrificing its quality. To some extent, digital delivery is like a content management system that is often used in blogging and quick-build websites.
The direct nature of content delivery eliminates the use of publishers and distributors. Before, it is these companies that campaign and market the media products in their retail outlets. However, they are entitled to a fraction of the revenue from product sales because of their distribution capability. Nowadays, a developer can upload his creation to an online commerce website, set the price for the product and take majority of the revenue.
Online distribution also gives confidence to budding executives who desire to make fresh yet risky media titles. Due to the limited space in their stores, managers only sold products that will definitely sell. Since producers take cue from their consumers, they are provoked to create along the proven methods that sell. Online distribution platforms enable executives to create innovative offerings without sharing profit with others.
Delivering content digitally has some negative implications too. The most evident of which is media piracy wherein the creation of an artist or a developer is distributed online without permission and paid royalties. A musician, an author or a game producer can become famous yet he does not earn up to his potential. Once the file is saved to a person's computer, he can pass on the material through an external hard drive or through peer-to-peer sharing.
Despite the fall backs, artists champion digital delivery because they have more control in the production of resources. They can run the show from concept to production to ownership and pricing without thinking of people who might reject their ideas or companies that demand a share of the profit.
