Entertaiment – The New York Times

In this time of economic turmoil, the entertainment industry is taking a beating. Many of the big companies that once dominated record and film production have closed their doors. But many independent recording artists, producers and filmmakers are thriving by leveraging technology to create their own products and distribute them at lower cost to consumers. This has radically changed the way people consume music and film.
