It almost makes sense.
True to form, The Onion recently ran a surprisingly convincing story: iTunes
To Sell You Your Home Videos For $1.99 Each
The entire article is a great read, and it's hard to single out only a small part
to quote. I particularly liked:
"Apple has always been about access," said MacAddict
editor Ian Smythe. "Thanks to this revolutionary new software, all your clips—from
your son's bris to your father's dying message—are available to you, your loved
ones, and the 20 million iTunes users, who will be able to view them on up to
five different computers."
and the paragraph following that:
Apple currently owns an average of 20 gigabytes of
digital footage per American family, and it has also acquired an enormous library
of the tens of millions of analog-format home movies dating from the early decades
of the 20th century through 2001.
And who knows, there might be people who really would be willing to pay for a
service of this sort.
Go to: The shoebox advantage.
