Oh Mike, you dreamer, Re: Bottom line- If Hollywood loses the pipes, they lose control of our tastes and will lose the outrageous revenue streams they get worldwide. And I'm hoping, maybe naively, that once they lose control of the pipes, then we may revert back to a society where quality counts. I have that naive hope myself. But let's face it, it requires intelligence and hard work to participate in the sort of democratic information exchange we engage in here. And it don't come cheap. I mean, we gotta think, fergoshsakes, and I don't believe that is universally regarded as a pleasurable activity. I'm finding all sorts of little tantalizing snippets of audio/video content on the web these days, for example: ceolive.com itradionetwork.com These mini-programs take things up a notch from what the interviewers at CNBS or BloombergTV are willing to spend time on. And it is on my schedule. There are many other examples, Yahoo Finance for one (though I find them a tad breathless about their favorites). <g> IMHO, Disney, Time-Warner, the TV networks, News Corp. and their ilk are really in the disinformation business. My immediate reaction on watching what any of them are flooding the media channels with is this simple question: What are they trying to hide from us now? Bon Chance, Ray
