    It hasn't changed a damn thing in the music business. The tools are not
    the problem. Anybody remotely interrested in doing music on a computer
    can do it now for $500. So anybody can make music. And still it is
    mostly s*** that we hear.

    It will be the same for movie making. I fact, you can make tv quality
    movies on a home computer with no trouble. You have been able to for
    years. So where is all that great cheap content?

    Another difference is that we don't have as much time for watching
    movies as we do for hearing music. So most people will be even more
    indifferent if there are more bad movies made.
