Yet more brain-dead commentary by the clueless asswipes in Big Media:

" Universal Music Group CEO calls iPod users thieves "

Calling your customer base criminals doesn't work in the long run. We all know how successful that was at stopping the spread of file sharing - if you can call 'abysmal failure' a success.

They should know about thieves - Vivendi's ex-CEO Jean-Marie Messier is in trouble for stock fraud, to name one example. You can bet the rest of this inbred gang of corporate criminals are doing the same kind thing. Tell me how a desk paper-pusher deserves multimemberships in golf and yatch clubs, afford luxury palatial mansions with gold plated $5,000 toilet seats, and travel around in private aircraft.

But what can you expect from these cartels who thrive on the suffering of the artistes whom they are supposedly promoting? You think any of the money that got levied (e.g. blank media tax) on to the public got shared out among their artistes? Screw it - the artistes get exactly what's in their extortionate, lopsided contracts. The rest of the money - all of it - goes to feed the neverending gravy train.

Big Media are lying, doublefaced criminal bastages. This latest attempt at justifying double-dipping just goes to show that their greed is out of control. Face it, these desperate money-grabbing attempts tell us that you're finally feeling the pain of your business model spiraling down the toilet. Take it like men, or have you sold your balls as well?
