When art becomes about business, your fans become customers, your works become products and you turn from an artist to an employee. Business sucks the soul out of art, like a vampire. I believe the internet means less money for art worldwide, which is both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because we will eventually have fewer teenagers entering the music business in search of big money. It is a curse because, for the time being, we have music and movie companies fighting against falling profits with lawsuits and software that works against its users through DRM.

PS - When there's less money to be made, movies need to get cheaper.
PPS - Probably the first thing to cut is multi-million dollar salaries for actors.

Speaking of vampires (and I know you weren't really, it was more of a side comment) - I've figured out where the vampires have moved to. It's closer to the city - therefore closer to more victims. On the same bus route, after St Andrews Hospital.
I know two places you might mean, right beside each other. One used to be a convenience store and there's a run-down house beside it.
I was talking about the house, although now that you mention it, the convenience store is also a good choice - less obvious.
