Die Diskussion um “Content-Diebstahl”, “schleichende Enteignung” etc. greift Huffington auf: Falsche Metaphern führten zu falschen Schlüssen.

Über die ‘traditionelle Medien’ – vor ihr hielt Rupert Murdoch eine Rede – heißt es:

“They were asleep at the wheel, missed the writing on the wall, let the train leave the station, let the ship sail — pick your metaphor — and quickly found themselves on the wrong side of the disruptive innovation the Internet and new media represent. And now they want to call timeout, ask for a do-over, start changing the rules, lobby the government to bail them out, and attack the new media for being… well, new.”
