Why bother

If the directive goes ahead, the net effect will be to transfer money from Google etc to UMG etc. Do not expect the money to reach the performers - it will just go from one set of shareholders to another set of shareholders.

Andrew is of course in favor of the directive being as harsh as possible as he seems to hate Google. (What was the last time that he praised anything that Google did?)
