The perfect tools aren't going to help us if we can't face each other and give and receive fearlessly, but more important, to ask without shame.

I think the thing you're seeing now with the music industry is that the people who have tight-knit communities are now able to really hold each other up because of the internet tools. And the really top-down pyramid scheme of major labels and typical superstars isn't sustainable anymore because the system has collapsed.
