Dunno, I think that all this panic is just like echoes on a empty  
house, and a lot of thinking that every providor is just like Kodak,  
a giant used to have the market under their foot, and lost once that  
the control is lost. For smaller companies a much smaller but  
sustained demand is enough to keep on going. Film companies will have  
to face that the budget will never be as big as it was, especially  
the big ones.
