      Dunno if you can find it, but there's a late 2011 talk Cory Doctorow (writer/freedom advocate) gave talking about the record companies (& everyone else) pissing off their customers. Quite good. Hi Bono, lol...

      What We Talk About When We Talk About Internet Regulation It's broken up into 5 segments, skip ahead in pt. 1 past the long-winded intro...

      Guardian article, German pirate party

      I couldn't agree more, the governments are pandering to a greedy, lazy media industry that has grown fat off the people and expects to stay that way without moving with the times.

      As sad as it is when jobs are lost, I think it's a good thing every time one of these fat record labels collapse because that's the only way of giving the smaller guys a piece of the action who don't turn round and bite the hand that feeds.
