When content companies allow consumers the ability to sell and rent content like traditional products, those companies will reap unimaginable amounts of new revenue from the same content they currently restrict
Content companies are one of the few industries that could arguably make more money on resales and rentals than on the original sale of their products. New technology provides opportunities for value unavailable to other businesses. The content company can now realize additional revenues through unrestricted auctions, rentals, sales and resales between consumers—earning royalties on each transaction.
For example, consider automobile sales. Auto companies only earn profits on the sale of new cars. Imagine their revenues if they could capture a royalty on each resale of used cars around the world—the amount would be staggering. 9thX offers a new business model for content companies. The ability to earn royalties on sales and resales—forever.
