See #2 specifically, about the entertainment industry (specifically music) having no monetary value due to the Internet and illegal downloads.

“Yes, it was illegal, but it was illegal in the way that speeding on a country road at night is illegal. You had never met anyone who had actually gotten caught doing it.

Before we knew it, we had created a new reality in which creative content is effectively worthless. Now, kids trade iPod libraries in one swipe, a few gigabytes of songs zipping invisibly over a thin wire in a few seconds — a library that, once upon a time, would have cost more than your first car.”

This entire article is a good read. #3 and #4 resonate with me the most.
