Google has demonstrated less than ethical behavior. The last thing I want is them advising me on ethics. As someone else pointed out, this is basically a lobbying group.
Right on. I have also spent hundreds of dollars attending their concerts, helping the band to fund their private jet, huge mansions, and lavish lifestyle. The more that I hear about these guys, and I have been fortunate enough to know people who have worked directly with them, the more that I have realized that their entire Africa campaign etc. is a farce. How much money is enough. How many jets, mansions etc. do you need? Bono and company are many things, but intelligent.......that jury is still out. I might feel differently if these guys were putting their money where their mouth was and were donating the majority of the proceeds of their albums and concerts to African aid, and maybe even giving back to new musicians in a substantial fashion.
I'm not seeing that. Instead I'm seeing a bunch of short sighted nitwits trying to protect a dying industry. It would be really nice to see a large group of U2 fans that have collective spent millions on their albums to tell them to stuff it if they don't drop this position.
