The Tycoon Who Cried Thief

The tycoons of today's media chose lawyers rather than innovators to further their business interests.  This decision has led to a decrease in innovation by creative individuals because the fear of being sued for copyright infringement by the media tycoons.  This is ironic since the tycoons have been using their power to steal the ownership rights of artists for years.  While these greedy businessmen cry thief so the government will protect their profits, the artist who is truly being robbed is ignored.  If this injustice is not corrected, today's media tycoons will continue to cry thief until innovation is extinct in both technology and artistry.

  1. I like the artists who subvert the publishing companies and distribute their music directly. It makes me feel better to buy their music.
