Are we not moving towards that very situation though, as a culture, as participants with in that culture? The value proposition might change soon, from our old notions of the individual, the sole author, to the work and many authors (credited or not).
It's all exciting whichever angle you might approach the digital world from as a creator. Best time to be a creator than any other time in history, I would guess.
