Neither is anyone else.



It's even worse in the film world. While you can conceivably make great music on very low budgets (though how to filter, select and market are major problems) I doubt if a movie worth seeing can be made for under tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. And if people wont pay for DVDs, how will movies be funded? Probably the only way is by major companies advertising in them. Perhaps huge budget (and huge audience) movies will survive, but small thoughtful ones? I doubt it.
