” Watch Out Hollywood
The entertainment industry’s real threat isn’t piracy, it’s backyard Spielbergs armed with digital moviemaking gear.”
C'est le titre d'un article de Glenn Harlan Reynolds publié dans la revue “Popular Mechanics” et accessible en ligne ici:

Deux courts extraits:
For the past hundred years, the major entertainment companies have controlled the means of producing movies and records–there’s a reason why the shorthand for their business is “the studios”–but now everyone can afford the equipment. That means the entertainment industry has to rely on its talent base and, judging by recent releases, it doesn’t have a monopoly on talent.
Tech guru Jonathan Peterson says the problem is that the Big Media companies still see audiences strictly as consumers. They don’t realize that many members of their audience want to create as well as consume. “The quality of ‘amateur’ content is exploding at the same time that Big Media companies are going through one of their all-time lows in music and television creativity,” he says. “No wonder we’re spending more time with our PCs than we are with our TVs.”
