Sony Pictures CEO Thinks the Net Wasn't Worth It
rossturk writes "Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, said, 'I'm a guy who doesn't see anything good having come from the Internet, period.' Why? Because people 'feel entitled' to have what they want when they want it, and if they can't get it for free, 'they'll steal it.' It's become customary to expect a somewhat limited perspective on things from old-world entertainment companies, but his inability to acknowledge that the Internet has changed everything makes me think he's a very confused man. Is this when we all give up hope that companies like Sony Pictures can adapt? Will we look back on this as one of the defining moments when the industrialized entertainment industry lost touch for good?"
And the biggest example of that is WAR CRIMINAL.
I hope this helps the planned deportation to The Hague.

The banks were not supplying those things because that was not the profit model for those making the decisions in the banks, at least the major decisions that ultimately mattered.
Those people did extremely well, those CEOs gained huge payments, and already are rebounding after this stumble, even if that rebound means their companies going under.
These bankers are triumphs of our system. They made millions, billions of profits for very little work. They did things far smarter, on their own, and are reaping the profits.

This is a forum. You hit "Reply", and your response was indented. Given that the parent comment wasn't at the root level, you had to have noticed this.
