I expect that lots of people saw this two part interview with Jonathan Klein of Getty Images at South By Southwest when TechCrunch blogged it almost a month ago. But I don't think I have seen it linked to here - and it addresses lots of the things which people here are interested in. He speaks very well and seems to have a clear vision.
The interview is in two parts. In the second part he specifically talks about Pinterest, school projects etc.
The part about cannibalizing your own business models was interesting.
I thought he put it really well about the music industry labels - how they ended up not adapting to change and technology and then "doing something which was unspeakable" when "the sued their fans and customers".
He looked very relaxed and more youthful than on the last vid I watched.
I was a bit confused though. On the first he said that free imagery is the point where they draw the line. But on the second, I got the impression that he was talking about free images - when he spoke of proliferation and school projects etc. Did I misunderstand what he was saying there?
