UK Adoption of entertainment industry demands

"...industry has convinced governments..."
"...industry is now trying to get the law passed covertly.."

This is pure corporatist fascism at it's worst. The corrupt merger of state and corporate power to serve and enforce the interests of the private sector at the expense of the common good. This is what America shamelessly engages in with it's financial and auto industry bailouts, RIAA/MPAA lawsuits and so on, but it is of great concern to me when it tries to undermine, pollute and corrupt European democratic socialism as well.

Re: UK Adoption of entertainment industry demands

Quite obviously you know nothing about that arguement. The RIAA/MPAA has no legal jurisdiction in other countries. Those countries have similar bodies conducting this activity.

Before you point at us, why not look at those who are doing the same crap in your own back yard.

Wish what you want on other countries, but American consumerism accounts for a large chunk of global GDP. If we go down, you're going with us.
