Most people agree that the internet has made us smarter — will it also make us freer? That depends on how we use it. Burnham believes that industries which produce content (Hollywood, music corporations, television) should be required to adapt, rather than “kill the medium.” He says that although we’re used to seeing artists portrayed as the victims in this debate, it’s really the industries that are suffering. “Artists are beginning to find really creative ways of financing projects, distributing projects, promoting projects and that’s great. The industry is a little bit slower to adapt.” And maybe they should.
