We have switched from a cultural economy based on scarcity (less supply drives up demand) to a culture of abundance (wider choice equals wider demand).

That is clearly shown in how the Big Four music companies have crumbled. They were dinosaurs who refused any changes or any artists that didn't fit the sameness. The other arts are going through their revolutions too. Sadly the media either is clueless to this, or refuses to cover any art that isn't safe and generic, AND they refuse any outside media scrutiny. Look for worst media lists of the decade for example! For example, myspace is now the world's biggest music company, and youtube is the world's biggest film company. But they are full of artists that are indies and for that reason they won't get fair coverage no matter how much better they are in quality and innovation.
