Thot bubbled #48

Why would entertainment suppliers have trouble with people posting clips of their stuff on Youtube? It's not like these clips are eating into their revenue stream. As far as I can see, it's free advertising. Or do they believe the people who watch clips on Youtube will start subscribing to their feed when they realise that they can't see it, grainily, for free on Youtube? The latest case of this foolishness is the ICC demanding that Youtube pull down all clips of the on-going World Cup of Cricket '07. Any thoughts that can help me deconstruct this puzzle?

From 'Wall Street'

Was going through the Blockbuster, UK list (a voted one) of top 20 movie speeches and found this one made by Michael Douglas in Wall Street (1987) as number 5 on it. Sums up the 'Greed economy', Capitalism, USA, KBC etc and the larger part of the world pretty well.

"The point is, ladies and gentleman, is that greed - for lack of a better word - is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind. And Greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."

Interestingly, none of the top 20 speeches are from a female lead...
