I think they've been thinking<BR/>ahead for quite a long time.<BR/><BR/>This is probably one reason that the FCC is trying so hard to squeeze the little people out of internet and radio control of content. Obviously, the FCC is "owned" by big media. There is no other explanation that is logical ... at least there doesn't seem to be any other logical conclusion that can be made to me.<BR/><BR/>What is "illogical" in the continued flurry of lawsuits against music users. At least<BR/>it's illogical if one considers only that the media industry isn't thinking ahead.<BR/><BR/>But the lawsuits become logical if one considers that the media industry can use this as a sort of torturous promotional tool. They might even make some money on it via settlements or court decisions, as was recently noted in the Jammie verdict. It's a way of retaining the maximum profit margin while gaining almost constant publicity.<BR/><BR/>This way, once the FCC locks down the internet and radio control access, we can be spoonfed the idea that all this is good for us because it will finally end the nastiness behind the copyright infringement wars...Firefli44https://www.blogger.com/profile/14906240718618381609noreply@blogger.com
