This guy is so focused on how the internet is used as a tool against him personally (his financial interests) that he doesn’t see any good coming from anyyone elses access to it.

Selfish people who think like this should not be in charge of anything.

When is it not ok to want something for nothing? When greedy businessmen like him can't turn an even more obscene profit.

Why?  Because people 'feel entitled' to have what they want when they want it, and if they can't get it for free, 'they'll steal it.' It's become customary to expect a somewhat limited perspective on things from old-world entertainment companies, but his inability to acknowledge that the Internet has changed everything makes me think he's a very confused man.  Is this when we all give up hope that companies like Sony Pictures can adapt?  Will we look back on this as one of the defining moments when the industrialized entertainment industry lost touch for good?"</I></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F12A7ABC-1094-4163-A941-F7A7DA33F1D5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
