Disadvantages
Piracy; due to the high amount of piracy surrounding the film industry and new music talent, small producers get hit harder than big companies, who can afford to lose the money from piracy. The small companies cannot, however, so eventually can't afford to make new films, resulting in the music and film industries becoming bland and boring, as only the same big companies such as Fox can make new films.
Monopoly; creates problems for the audience of a product as one person owns everything in one type of production, meaning the audience gets a biased view. For example is Rupert Murdoch owned all of the UK papers, only his point of view would get published

Advantages
Digital Technology and Startups; now that new technology is available to everyone, anyone could record a film on their phone, use widely available editing software and upload it to youtube, and could make money from it. Before this wouldn't have happened and the same producers would be making films, meaning the film and music industry is more diverse, and everyone can have an
opportunity to become famous.
