All of the media industries have already adapted to the internet and file sharing.

Music Artists — play live shows; Use internet/file sharing to build a fan base cheaply. Use digital technology to record/distribute cheaply.

Movies — Box office returns are as high as ever; Most movies utilize product placements; There is also 5–15 minutes of commercials before a movie starts

Video games — free to play models; ongoing content to discourage piracy; some in game advertising

As a digital consumer, I've been able to experience the artistry of smaller projects that I would simply never been exposed too. Much of that is Canadian content that doesn't not have the exposure of American projects. Nonetheless, I've still supported the media arts with my money. I love seeing movies in the theater, good bands play a live show, and always shell out for a good video game.

Yes, I understand that significant corporations are struggling with the last decade of information tech growth, but that is irreversible. It is now ingrained in society. It is not the government's purpose to force an oppressive legislation on its people so that dying corporations can survive a bit longer.
