• It's actually amazing, stunning even.

    The state has managed to strong-arm itself into the creative revenue stream (as officious as that sounds - can't think of a better phrase).

    but that revenue stream will be stifled by all the free content until nothing is produced except that created by willing unpaid subjects for use by the murdochs of the world and governments.

    "There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent there will be no need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always-do not forget this Winston-always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever.”
