Proof is in the pudding. The major studios are not shooting the schedule they once did and it does affect every facet of our business. From sales to advertising to production crews to talent.

One of two things has to happen. Either the govt. is going to have to "save" the biz by accident by changing laws to protect mainstream (movies and music) OR people are going to have to start protecting their content much more and turn this thing around.
or the third option
people who are not clueless will figuire out a solution that is as simple as "put your stuff on the cassette tapes and sell it"
and turn the big bad problem of piracy with tubes/torrents into the next vcr revenue stream.

i don't expect the solution to come from someone who's idea of creativity is to basically copy waynes world over the top product placement in a porn video.
