The report specifies "challenge" and that word isn't always a euphemism for "threat". At a corporate level, we certainly see it as a "challenge" with undertones of "opportunity" rather than an out-and-out threat. Yeah, I was going to say.

Music, film, advertising (etc.) industries are all facing fundamental challenges due to the power/biz model shifts that are happening beyond their control. I don't think its a matter of can they change...its more a matter of whether they are willing. Will the continue to sue to protect their old models/IP (Viacom) or will they foster innovation (Google)? The US auto industry adapted for a little while in the 70s during the first "oil crisis"...adapting to consumer behavioral changes. And I suspect that they will again as consumers embrace more and more hybrids and gas prices rise. It's a cliche but they genie's out of the bottle. Good luck trying to get it back in...
