Sure.. But don't all ventures of decent magnitude? Hey.. I'm not proposing a "magic bullet". I'm just asking all of those who *truly believe* that studio is an endangered beast, and who *truly* don't want that to happen, to put their feelings to the test and decide if they would *really* like to take it upon themselves to continue on the market space.
