This was great, probably the first thing I've read that really nails what's been going on. I particularly like the bit at the end stating how this can be reigned in if the US gvmt just enforces existing laws. None of this is inevitable.

And all this is happening in what was a brief golden age of a lot of production thanks to streaming mania.

Of course, Hollywood and show biz is rife with careers that briefly explode and then, well, fade to black or close to it.

Too: like everywhere else in the commercial arts, the big bucks is for the superstars while everyone else gets comparative peanuts or loss.

It's all crazy...

Change your display name

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..

Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
