I generally shy away from posting this stuff on Clapboard because politics bore me and large industries freaking out because no one needs them anymore bore me and having discussions with the brainwashed bores me, but hey! I love graphs!
This graphic was posted at the often-awesome Techdirt and I wanted to repost it here because it illustrates with real numbers that what the content distribution industries have been saying for years is a total lie. THe sky isn't falling, fuckers. The world isn't ending. The entertainment industry isn't dying, it's growing, and now's a great time to be a creator. Fuck the liars in the suits.
That's all. Graphic is 4x bigger after el break-o.
I've thought about writing. I've thought about clapboard (I'm going to redesign/upgrade sometime soon). I don't know why I haven't gotten around to writing anything, but there are a few factors that I'm considering that, summed, probably answer this pressing question.
