Peter,

Good Effing Lord! You must be talking about the Mandelbrot Distribution. My strong suit in my MBA courses was advanced statistics.
I totally remember what Mark Twain said about statistics.

Jerry, long-tail is taking anything - a technology, individual object, method of making, etc.and reproducing it or causing it to be reproduced in such a way that more than one income event is manifested. This is a corollary to Anderson's distribution model wherein many short-run products are made available to a market rather than high volumes with riskier sales potential.

For example, I have old manuals for various camera oddities...ephemera. I could sell the individual items, thus realizing a one-time cash event. Or, I could reproduce the originals in various quantities and combinations and offer high quality reproductions as long as no infringement of standing art is made. This, then would allow many others to enjoy access to the material while perhaps saving money over the cost of purchasing the original.
