It reminds me of the dot com boom here in Austin. In 1999, I worked for IdeaMarket, a company that was designed to license content and resell it online. We had contracts with the New Yorker and numerous other orgs. Why did the model implode? Two reasons. First, no one wanted to pay for content. Second, the boss sucked up too much of the vc $$. I'm afraid that content is going to get cheaper. People like video, not text. And no one needs to pay for good video when millions of people around the world with a Flip camera can shoot, edit and distribute on the scene news footage for free. That being said, I work for a book publisher. Go figure! No matter what the business, $300 K + for one salary in a start up with no revenue is way too much.
