My hope is that free content is its own bubble, and like real estate, will bottom out but will always have inherent value. For example, I have a relative who is in commercial real estate in California. Yes, the market is sucking (although according to him, things are improving in his corner of the state). However, to me, the fact still stands that he sells real estate in California - a "product" with an outstanding brand. I feel that no matter how bad things get, someone is always going to want a piece of that pie. The era of free content is riding high right now. But just like how work begets work, nothing begets nothing. Eventually, someone or something will have to belly up to the bar and pay the tab. Hope springs eternal, Eric Nature abhors a vacuum.
