Lets start at the top:
"When a small indie label [...] is paying more tax than Google and Amazon
combined this year in the UK"
Google and Amazon are American companies. With very little presence in the UK.
Why would they be paying lots of UK taxes?
"There's a view that intellectual property is a barrier to growth"
Yup, its part of the definition.
"It's very effective lobbying from the technology industries"
No mention of the Beeb's love affair with MS?
"But if the only thing you create is advertising revenue, then it's a very
poor world"
Google create a lot more than advertising revenue. They just make most of their
money from advertising. Ever heard of a little phone OS called Android? If you
only value someone by how much money they can make for you, then I have several
books by Dickens for you to read.
"The engine room of any intellectual property is that a licence covers
transfers of value"
Huh?
"Music industries are struggling to get MPs to comprehend that they want
copying of copyrighted work to be legal, just not without compensation."
I don't think they realise that they're asking for the impossible here. DRM is
fundamentally impossible, and that's what they're asking for.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
