As if this is even a question.

It made me wonder what would happen if all the content-creation industries blocked access to all their products for a day to demonstrate what would happen if they couldn’t make any money from their work owing to rogue sites. There’d be no music, no television, no film, no books, no radio. What would you miss the most – culture or Wikipedia?

Wikipedia.

I’d miss Wikipedia, Tumblr, Dreamwidth, the AO3, random blogs, my own blog… All that stuff I’d miss a million times more than I would the “culture industry”.
