It seems to me that the studios are scared to death of the plummeting cost of filmmaking and the competition it brings. Bittorent is in the crosshairs now because it could make distribution of indie content much more practical. Next it will be lower cost editing stations (home PCs), filmmaking software, and HD camcorders (also attacked in the piece as a piracy tool).
