UK Music Industry Calls For Truce With Technology

Stoobalou writes "The British music industry has called for a truce with the technology firms with whom it has till now fought a bitter battle over rights, royalties and file sharing. Feargal Sharkey, CEO of lobby group UK Music, told a conference in London this week that it was time for the music and technology industries to set aside their differences and strive instead toward a common goal: nothing less than the total global domination of British music."

I wonder...

Will the British porn industry be so daring?

It seems...

Maybe it's time

for Clive Sinclair to come out of retirement and make a new iPod thing or something?

Well, anyone who expects people to pay to see Brits fuck IS pretty daring...

Yeah, totally agree. This makes me wonder if the Music industry has finally realised we are the ones holding all of the cards, not vice versa. I also love the other Conan movies, and to a lesser extent the cartoon series. "Woman: A pittance to protect you from evil?" "Subotai: I am evil..." "Conan: You're all whores."

Sharkey says, "In short," he said, "We want to be number one." Well, a single digit salute to you, Mr. Sharkey, you predatory bastard from the deep.

Global domination?

All kinds of depraved people out there...

Though I could probably masturbate to someone speaking Oxford English. No video necessary, just the audio track. :/
