It's always the music industry.

Pathetic part is most big bands started out small as cover bands.

Ben Shapiro is suing the UofMN for being moved to a smaller venue this past February over security concerns.

It's always the music industry.

For real, you wouldn't believe it.

Our indie music industry over here has started pumping out "london gangster rap" and just like american gangster rap in the 70s/80s we've seen a wave of violence in the "urban" community after their minds were poisoned by this dreadful music.

As we all know, guns don't kill people - rappers do.

Thankfully the establishment is stepping in and has banned some of these "artists" from producing music without the polices permission. Truly saving the minds of our youths from these lyrical terrorists.

[Zealot]

It's always the music industry -or Disney-

Let's not forget how many times the date when IP goes into the public domain after the death of the creator has been pushed back solely to prevent Mickey Mouse from falling into public use.

How bad can “London gangster rap” really be though? Like, what are they even rhyming about besides tea and crumpets?

[AoE]

Spoken Grime for the uninitiated. Carry on.

I'm in favour of it being banned. Mostly because it's fucking terrible.

Case in point. It's 99% balaclava wearing wannabe wankstas.

[Zetanio]

Banning music is retarded.

I thought Disney's new schtick was to claim that Mickey was now a trademark and subject to indefinite protections.

[Fiye]

Isn't disney like 80% of the movie industry at this point?

[Xno Kappa]

I remember reading some crazy statistic that 40% of anything aired on TV at any given time is owned by Disney.

[Zetanio]

Yep. They are getting close to being too big.

[Fiye]

Would argue Disney has been well beyond past that point for awhile.

[Zetanio]

I mean, it's not even as big as Comcast. They are about 35% of the movie market and probably 30-35% of the TV market. Even with the Fox acquisition they'll still be below anti-trust level.

I think that may depend on if we are talking about movie production or just in general involved in a movie somehow.

Don't forget they own SkywalkerSound and ILM, which do an absolute fuckton of films from what I've seen.


I am a complete Disney freak, but even I have to admit they've gone too far and shouldn't have been allowed to do the Fox deal.

We can all talk about the ramifications of corporate consolidation after mutants and the FF are in the MCU. Not before.

I know but those aren't Disney or Fox movies, they are movies made by other studios that contract them for sound, lighting and other shit.

Are the rules for monopolies different for content creators like Disney, versus say a provider like telecommunications/internet providers?
