"A few years back, we did a deep dive into the actual numbers for how
the entertainment industry had been faring in the post-Napster era, and
found that, contrary to the doom and gloom stories the legacy
entertainment industry has been stating, the sky was rising, not
falling. Since then, we've continued to release updated versions of our
Sky is Rising reports, which continue to show the same basic thing: more
creative output than ever before in history, more people creating
content than ever before in history, more people making money as content
creators than ever before in history and more money being spent on
content than ever before in history. In other words, the whole idea that
the internet and file sharing somehow killed the entertainment industry
is complete bunk."
