I reckon the musicians who are worried are the few who are well paid. And
they are not even the really big names; they benefit from the technology
too. The "musicians" who will really suffer are manufactured twaddle who
wouldn't last past their first few singles anyway, the people who need $mega
in production and videos to sell to a market that laps that stuff up, and
doesn't understand that there is an alternative.
Personally, the ability for me to turn out high quality recordings with
modern technology is a giant plus. As for piracy - pleeeeeese pirate my
work. It helps me.
As to movies, I'd love to see the business model for expensive hollywood
pictures come crashing down. There is so much excellent independant work, of
high quality production wise as well as in terms of art, that is locked out
of the distribution channels; the current business is about force feeding us
mediocre crap sprinkled with glitter.
