The Radical change during internet 2.0 was this: Artists took back control of their own works their IP (intellectual property 101) and major studios bit the dust. Remnants of brick & mortar or keys to the Cadillac more about that in an upcoming blog...the standard distribution models were written in stone. Today it's Hurray (not) for Hollywood -the ground has been broken. Tectonic plates have shifted in the Land of T-Rex.

Both mour...
