That's really it, isn't it.

For some reason record, tv, and film studios have deluded themselves  
that they are content providers and must protect same at all cost.   
They are, instead, audience providers and have taken their eyes off  
the ball while frustrated, bored consumers pull an end-around to meet  
the equally frustrated creatives everywhere but living rooms, cars  
and theaters.

The suits are arguing in the boardroom, but there's one hell of an  
arts festival going on out on the lawn.
