The problem with winner takes all 9:21pm on 18 Mar 2009 It's stupid. So many times the driver at the front gets into an insurmountable lead. The rest of the pack will be racing for nothing
YouTube row reflects online minefield 8:55pm on 11 Mar 2009 @38

So you were paid £54. Perhaps that is all your product is worth. Afterall, it was only the theme tune and the drama was the actual product.

Just because we see millionaire musicians on television and hear them on the radio, it doesn't mean production of all music means you get paid loads.

I recently wrote a website for somebody. I charged £250. It's only a few pages but this chap will use the site as an advert for his business night and day and will bring him some good business. But as far as I'm concerned, it's a small product and so only returned a small amount of money.

So what if you only got £54, you only wrote a single piece of music. It looks to me as if you see the profits of the people you're dealing with and want a larger slice than you deserve.
YouTube row reflects online minefield 6:31pm on 09 Mar 2009 This is so typical of the music industry. They try to get fees more than their product is worth and if they don't get their way then the cry out and say that it is the artists who're being actively victimised.

At the same time the big labels are pulling tactics to make it difficult for artists who aren't under their control. They don't care about the artists. They just want the maximum possible profit.
Brown and fast broadband 3:35pm on 06 Jan 2009 Britain's internet infrastructure really does need updating, but there's things to worry about when the government gets involved. Would they want to start controlling what travels across the network? Government mandated "fair usage" or possibly the content rating system that was suggested lately.

I don't think the public should accept tax money being spent or used on broadband if it would give the government extra powers over it.
39th-game could benefit Asian football 9:45pm on 09 Oct 2008 One thing I like about football leagues is that they're mathematically fair. You get 2 chances against every other team. One at their place, one at yours.

There's no way they could continue this mathematic fairness with a single extra game each, it would have to be an extra whole round of games each.

That would be impossible unless the teams play constantly all year round, and I don't think the Premier League teams will be up for that.
