Megaupload is down; end of story.

Well I sincerely doubt that megaupload is the end of story. After all youtube is still screwing the music industry but no one is going to be able to touch them because Google has it's nose right up the government's ass.
Obviously things are getting better but things are never going to be as good as they used to be and this includes productions. Where the entertainment industry used to make dollars they now fight for nickles. So therefore they're forced to produce on a budget of pennies. Just look at the porn industry; For example "Talk Dirty to me" was made for just over $100k and it obviously grossed far more than that. Today we're dragging our heels on taking a chance to make a video for a measly $5k.
There's really no incentive to be creative or take a risk on something new and different as long as the Internet can screw over a creator.
