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.
