BY ITS OWN HANDS HOLLYWOOD BEING HURT BY TECHNOLOGY THAT MADE IT SUCCESSFUL
2002
Overview
Let's tell a story to angry and threatened Hollywood executives. In the olden, olden days, there was no such thing as technology. People sang songs and told campfire stories because they wanted to, not because their intellectual and creative content was protected. Rumor has it that plagiarism ran rampant among early cave painters, but the matter was generally dropped due to more pressing matters, such as escaping from the saber-toothed tiger who just entered the cave. Then, Shiva predictably decided this was too boring and moved into a phase that heralded destruction for those on the inside but new opportunities for those on the outside. Suddenly, any idiot could make a home movie and distribute it on the Internet. Any boob could come up with his own Web log, and many did. Any fool could share files, and most of us did, thanks to Napster and its progeny. Such is the genius of our free-market system, which galvanizes both artists and charlatans. The best works of Shakespeare, Mozart, Bach, Dante and Cervantes did not result from protection from studios and legal entities. They rose from the liberated human spirit. Studios and lawyers must learn from this. They cannot stop their Shiva as he continues on his cosmic dance of creation, destruction and renewal. They must learn to stop attempting futilely to protect the turf of the past and instead join in the dance.
