Description:

In this clip from the 2007 American Bar Association Forum on the Entertainment and Sports Industries, the panelists discuss an audience question as to how labels are approaching managing the various revenue streams they are now participating in funding. They contrast a vanilla 360 deal, in which revenue streams might be crossed and cross-collateralized in perpetuity, with a model being explored by Disney in which each revenue stream is treated on its own terms, advanced separately from the others, and never cross-collateralized with another – thereby allowing them to more intelligently stay out of revenue streams that are unprofitable or disadvantageous for the company or are a drag on an artists’ career.
