But this possible assumes that production of new media will either slow or
stay at a constant rate. The never-yet-realised side effect of all this
distribution capacity is that possible many more artists will have access to
the listeners / viewers and in more narrow niches than the existing system
allows. And that may be the real nightmare for the existing vested-interest
groups.
