Pop Mechanics says Hollywood fears no budget indies

PM:

Hollywood is in a panic over digital entertainment on the Internet. With a host of lawsuits and regulatory actions--from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to the Grokster case--movie studios are doing everything they can to shut down file sharing. They say they're fighting piracy. But Hollywood has more to fear than pirates: you.

I think the entertainment industry is scared to death of amateur content, and wants to make life difficult for amateurs and alternative distribution networks. That's because technology poses a threat that the studios don't know how to handle.

"Not since radical physicist Benny Hill first postulated that time slowed down while being chased by bikini-clad women; however, from the vantage point of the viewer, time sped up, have the masses been witness to such a momentous spectacle."
