Yair Landau, president of Sony Pictures Digital, and Eric Garland, CEO of BigChampagne, will join Los Angeles Times editorial writers Jon Healey and Michael Newman to discuss the challenge the Internet poses to the entertainment industry. With most Internet users switching to broadband connections, the Net is becoming an increasingly important source of music, movies and games — to the detriment of many entertainment companies’ traditional business models. But the increasingly interconnected, on-demand world also presents opportunities to companies that are willing to take chances. The panel will explore how the entertainment industry is reacting to the changes and the risks it faces (including online piracy and increasing competition for consumers’ attention), as well as some promising new ways to distribute music and movies online.
