But to do that Martin has to regulate Hollywood studios. And I don't think he has or will get the backing to do that.

There's no way they are going to give up that revenue. Yes, both of these points are correct, and Martin, not being stupid, knows them.

Combining those two quotes, considering where they each came from, really illustrates just how horrible a commissioner Martin is. | |
