Re: So more cheap entertainment being killed

Disney are running out of public domain fairytales and the music industry has driven its product into the ground trying to make it ever cheaper and ubiquitous.

With Facebook hemorrhaging users, twitter running weekly "hilarious reasons to ban people" programs, and google embracing the "something must be done" crowd's request to keep people safe from online documents, YouTube is joining in by attacking its independent creators with demonitisation, demonization and deranking. They have already gone corporate.

Has anyone noticed Facebook begging for regulation? Adding legal responsibilities to an industry kills upstarts. That's useful if you're becoming geocites and are worried that you may not be able to keep buying up every possible competitor.

The kings of older media fight with the kings of Silicon Valley and the peasantry pay the price.

If we could vote and change things, that would be nice. Sadly it appears Prince John, er, May and the Sheriff of Nottingham and Cronies are reneging on their promises of a local representative council.

Time to storm the castle and hold them to account, methinks.

Fair Maid Boris! Will you risk your political future to free all England from this tyranny?
