"The digital era is the future and we are already on the path NOW. There is no turning back from the technological advancements we have made as a culture. Peer to peer file sharing happens and it is not going to go away. The media conglomerates are freaking out but the overall worry is really is no different than when the printing press liberated the written word or when VCR came along or cassette tapes or when more people began to read their newspapers online. What is the worry? These multi-billion dollar industries are going to lose money. They are so committed to their old business model and see the Internet’s users as a threat. If they were smart, they would dry their tears and think of a new way to work with the techno-advancements. However, to do this, they would have to abandon their “old way” of thinking and progress with society. This is unknown to them and they are scared. This is why it is so important for younger generations to embrace the digital era and use it to it’s full potential. By doing this we are not only gaining a wealth of information while supporting and learning about independent media endeavors, we are also rebels against the capitalistic system that limits us to dependent consumers."
