Club Alizée?

The 'Opendisc' information.

My guess, and I could be wrong, is that the Opendisc technology is the key to the pre order.

As far as a private club...I really do not see it that way. It is a product that is available to anyone, you just have to pay for it as with any product. It is not private, at this point in time the only stipulation is that it is available for a limited time. Amazon.com is not a private club because they will not share without paying. Satellite TV is not a private club because they will not allow you to have the signal without paying. Opendisc is not a private club. They have a product and service that is available for a fee. The limited time is like any sale...when the sale is over...it's over. If a manufacturer decides to only have a limited amount, they are allowed to do that.

Now, the economics of it, you could say you think it is too expensive. As some would say a Mercedes is too expensive and others may say it is a great value. It depends on your point of view, not a right or wrong. The great thing about a free market economy is that if it is not wanted or needed or the price is too high....no one will buy it. That appears to not be the case here.

The question I have is how long can Opendisc remain viable. Does it have a shelf life? Could it be a subscription news service for specific purposes? Or is it really event related with a shelf life? As with the buzz of a release of a new album? Or can it be tied to advanced information for a specific person for years? A once and done purchase or a yearly subscription....the future of Opendisc will be very interesting to say the least.

Making the decision on Opendisc and then setting a price...THAT my friends...are the meetings I would have loved to sit in on. That had to be some very interesting discussions. All of a sudden you are out of the music and into economics. That is when you feel that sensation in the pit of your stomach. Making these discussions takes some....well...huevos.
