UK Music Industry Calls For Truce With Technology
Stoobalou writes "The British music industry has called for a truce with the technology firms with whom it has till now fought a bitter battle over rights, royalties and file sharing. Feargal Sharkey, CEO of lobby group UK Music, told a conference in London this week that it was time for the music and technology industries to set aside their differences and strive instead toward a common goal: nothing less than the total global domination of British music."

Yeah, totally agree. This makes me wonder if the Music industry has finally realised we are the ones holding all of the cards, not vice versa. I also love the other Conan movies, and to a lesser extent the cartoon series. "Woman: A pittance to protect you from evil?" "Subotai: I am evil..." "Conan: You're all whores."
Take what ye can. Give nothing back!
Sharkey says, "In short," he said, "We want to be number one." Well, a single digit salute to you, Mr. Sharkey, you predatory bastard from the deep.
