The Price of Free
Robert Levine
Curb Center Free Public Lecture
The Fall 2011 Curb Creative Leadership Lecture
Robert Levine, the former executive editor of Billboard
Robert Levine has written for Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and the arts and business sections of the New York Times. In his first book, Free Ride, Levine charts how the media industry lost control of its destiny after laws made it possible for companies like YouTube to build businesses on copyrighted content, then again when apple and amazon drove down the price of music and books. Levine offers an innovative call to action to guard against further value destruction of the American media. This lecture contributes to the ongoing discussion facilitated by the Curb Center on the vitality of the U.S. expressive life and creative enterprise.
