Please clarify.
I don't understand your conclusion.

Quoting:

What Google, and all of us, most need to do is work that problem, finding business models through which content owners can profit while the end-to-end integrity of the search-and-find Internet is preserved.

That will break the link between the content industries and Hollywood, end the content wars, and, eventually, leave Scott Cleland without work.

[End quote]

A minor point, Hollywood provides content, so it's a content industry, no?!

Also, Google's impending monopoly is in search, not delivery. What sort of business plan for content will reduce Google's control of search?

And Google's interest in content delivery is mainly reducing the cost of providing downloads to customers by spreading the charges for bandwidth used to non-customers. Microsoft and others share that interest.

This big-companies-against-the-public issue has nothing to do with the content itself nor with complete business models. So why would Google be having any significant effect on the content market if the company succeeded in forcing you to help pay its bills?
