Doug Kaye – ITConversations on free content
This was in the weekly update from Doug Kaye at ITConversations, my favorite podcast channel and a model for how to present content from live events:
"1. Free content is more valuable than paid content. When content (or whatever
you choose to call it) can be freely linked to, blogged, reviewed and
remixed, its value to the world (and hence to its creator/owner) escalates
dramatically. Conversely, if you put your content behind a toll gate or
hinder its access or reuse in any other way, you drastically reduce its
value."

Good discussion of the paid/free models, citing Pat Kenealy’s Wired.com interview with Adam Peneberg linked down lower here.
Also discussion of payment models — ala carte vs. flat rates or bundled. As I’ve noted before in my discussions of Highbeam vs. Factiva in the paid research space, the flat fee model is most compelling.

"On January 20th, 1980, after walking around at the Super Bowl in Pasadena in a fur bikini bottom, Rollen Stewart went back to his hotel room, turned on the television and saw born-again Christian preacher, Dr. Charles Taylor, on Today in Bible Prophecy."

This guy went to the superbowl (any televised spectacle) in a rainbow Afro wig and helds a sign that said "John 3:16". Then he held a hotel maid hostage while demanding a global press conference and went to jail.
Then there is the Devil of the Tour de France: Didi Senft
He chases riders with a pitchfork and rides the world’s largest bicycle. Most of the riders like him to do this.
Then there are your run-of-the-mill face painters
