People will always create.
There are enough creative people around that you can't *keep* from creating,
and some of them will be very good, and they'll find an alternative
distribution system. So maybe the existing record companies, movie studios,
TV production companies and publishing houses will collapse after enough
people get tired of the artificial crap, but there will be something else
springing up in their place. The existing distribution channels will either
die or adapt. (And some of the smaller outfits will keep on with using
actual human output throughout the whole mess, and at least a few of *them*
will survive.)
