Succintly put by Jeffrey Baker:

The biggest problem with Disney’s worldview — and by association the worldview of the RIAA, MPAA, Vivendi, et al — is that they assume no private person can create anything. All art comes from the generous people at Disney. There are no independent aritsts.

People like Macs in part because they can rip, mix, and burn their purchased CD collection, or tote it around on their iPods. They also like Macs because they come with the tools necessary to put your own videos on DVD and send them to your pals. The latter is a power Disney does not want you to have. All video entertainment must come from the corporate empire. None of it must come from regular people.

A good follow up on young professional artists’ ability to do business independently. (Completely on target)
