The media companies cited - music and TV - have written the most public suicide note in history; they've tried pathetically to restrict access to digital media, by lawsuits, failed technology, regionalisation and gross overpricing; TV has added to that by encouraging 'reality TV' - because it's cheap.

Now they bleat because people realise they can do it themselves without an overpriced middleman sucking them dry?

First time I've ever felt warm towards the 'social media' movement :)
