It sounds like you don't get my point. Or maybe you do and I don't understand your comment, but in my opinion it seems that what is happening is not as simple as "resulting...get art for free and no one could make a living". I'm not going to bother explaining the relation of the Gutenberg press anymore, but let me just say this:

As an artist (painter) myself, I find this whole concept very inspiring and exciting. I'm inspired because I know that I can't simply rely on people buying my prints to make a living--which actually seems to me like a lazy way of making a living. I'm forced to come up with new and different ways of making money, like: performances, installations or sculpture. I'm always trying to think of a new way.

Don't fight the current, improvise, be creative. : )

If you want to understand the grand, glorious, totally-different future, then you should familiarize yourself with Gutenberg's Press and the way it changed the world in so many ways. Just as the printing press shook the foundation of the church, the internet is shaking the foundation of the media industry. The world will change in so many ways you can't even begin to imagine.
