We could bid on stories, and collectively the bids would go to the investigators. After that the book publishers would get involved. Another thing we could do is create annuities for each member of a story taxonomy. Then, the stories would get readers and feed contextual advertising click-throughs to monetize the situation. The monies wouldn't go directly to the writer, it would get turned into an annuity, and the annuity would pay all the writers in a given category. The problem with the ASCAP model is that it is broken as well. Software publishers learned a long time ago that license protection schemes diminished the amount of money they could make. The music industry will wake up to this as well. Stories are always going to be about another story. Most news comes from a story called a press release or a placement. If you tried to pay the sources for their words in a given story, you'd have an accounting nightmare on your hands. Whose going to pay for in-depth, long investigative journalism projects?

According to Sun insiders it will take many years before the damages done by the Lucas Gang, as they are referred to there, can be repaired. He thrashed the place completely and lost many of the key people while providing lucrative employment to a group of cronies that travel with him from job to job. All cronies were also inexperienced outsiders. At some point Sun Chemical observers started calling Sun Chemical as FEMA NEW JERSEY. Today most of the top 7 or 10 people at Sun are from outside the industry.

The company became paralyzed. With all that on the record, low bottom morale, booted out by a typically tolerant parent in Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, he was immediately hired to run Quebecor, one of the largest printing and publishing and media companies and a major customer of Sun Chemical.
