OR... you learn some actual marketing skills (rather soley than relying on spamming tits + ass across the internet) and create a sales funnel that monetizes free content first and benefits from upsells later.
OR..... they will learn to develop new content lock down technologies like a better version of DRM and us it. I can assure you any perceived money lost to DRM bitching is nothing on the scale of money lost by piracy bar none. At some point, those companies who are left, will make this realization.

Frankly, I think the days of the downloads (at least the higher quality, new stuff) is coming to an end for the big budget studios. Soon, because of the insanely low bandwidth costs, you are going to have streaming only solutions in the near future.
