Saw something worth sharing about where IP is headed.
That Netflix dropping $82 billion on Warner Bros? Yeah, that's not just another M&A headline. It's basically screaming that intellectual property has become THE asset class everyone's fighting over.
What gets me thinking though - as IP stops being static and starts jumping between games, shows, virtual worlds, whatever - the old systems for tracking ownership and rights are gonna break. We're talking content that morphs across platforms, remixes itself, becomes interactive.
The infrastructure to manage who owns what piece of that puzzle? Doesn't really exist yet. But it probably needs to.
