Charging for Media Streams from Events
I haven't been able to find any details (broken links) but Stowe Boyd mentioned today on his blog, Get Real, that he was "On the train en route to NYC, for the Blogging Goes Mainstream conference, hosted by Business Development Institute, and a long list of great speakers. If you can't attend, I think PR Newswire is streaming the audio out for $125."
I've been wondering when someone was going to start charging. And I'm wondering when high price-event organizers (this one seems reasonable at $125) are going to start balking at participants who blog or podcast out of their events. There is an interesting potential tension here.
Me? I'd like to think it is great to give out. But I realize not everyone has my odd-ball view of the world and money-making!

In fact, the audio stream was provided for free :) (by PRNewswire), and is archived here.
Thanks, Constantin. I also noted that over on my post at Many2Many http://www.corante.com/many/archives/2005/05/04/charging_for_media_streams_from_live_events_and_live_blogging.php (hopping between blogs is a bit complicated.) Also, thanks for posting. I then wandered over and started reading your blog -- a good resource for PR folks! I look forward to following the results of your tagging digest experiment. Great idea.
