Digital Information Writing Assignment

There are a large number of sites, such as Amazon, Netflix, iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, Hulu, Joost, Pandora, mp3.com, and many others, that are moving into the business of selling or providing digital information. Choose at least three sites (it can be these ones or different ones) that provide legal access to online media such as music, games, movies, or TV shows and write a blog post that addresses the following issues:

  1. What is the site's revenue model? That is, how do they make money?
  2. What freedoms does the consumer of this information have? What can he/she do with it?
