I get really confused as to what you are actually saying.
You think the internet is bad, hasn't made more people more creative, hasn't given a worldwide distribution platform to people and is just there to fuck your shit up?
Make a point.
And learn how quoting works. Your stuff is hard to read.

The solutions you are suggesting are not realistic. You talk about Youtube raising a few thousand dollars to replace millions of dollars, which is what the "Hurt Locker" took in earnings.
You don't address the problem of why people will pay on youtube when google will show them where to download for free.
Computers without doubt have revolutionized music, photography, video and special effects production
....The Internet has the potential to give the world access to people of culture and information, but also the danger that it will destroy the cultural industries replacing them with banal stupid garbage pretending to be culture.
People one way or the other, have to pay for the product they consume. It can be social, that all who have the internet pay a subscription, or the internet companies are taxed, or that people run sites with pirated footage are arrested and people pay per view.
I notice that no one posted any music done at home that would match what the Beatles did with the studio system more than 40 years ago. This shows that it is not just technology or the ease of it.
Final Cut Pro is easy to use, but if you see what a professional editor can do with it, it shows that it is just a tool and it is the use of very skilled people working in groups that produces great music and movies.
