Dauman: Wireless Industry ‘Respects’ Copyrights

DAUMAN: WIRELESS INDUSTRY "RESPECTS" COPYRIGHTS
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Todd Spangler]
Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman said the media company is the largest supplier of content to wireless carriers -- producing more than 100 hours of mobile video worldwide each month -- and praised the industry for its “respect” of copyright protections. Mobile carriers provide Viacom with a “brand extension that respects copyrights,” Dauman said, adding, “I’m guessing you’re not too surprised about my feelings on that point.” Wireless, he said, “is a distribution medium and a business model that works for everyone -- carriers, content providers and consumers. That is its genius and its point of competitive differentiation.”
