Panorama: A new moan
The Lord of Leisure | March 15, 2010Tonight, for once, I took time out to watch the telly for a change and focused on watching an episode of the famous Panorama on BBC1, a show which looks at various issues occurring in the world today, like Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe programme except far less amusing nor containing any swear words for added effect.
But once more I felt the nerd rage build inside me, even prompting me to enter a blog entry for the first time in a while, for this programme was about the “net police” coming to get you for ripping off material you didn’t pay for,, due to a new digital rights bill moving through parliament right now.
The show mainly focused on the music industry, you know, those lovable rogues that fuel the wages of many mainstream artists and of course brought us the likes of Simon Cowell. Yeah, them lot. Already we’re not on their side.
Because I prefer to comment on such things that actually doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, here was a comment I left with them, of course if it got published on the site, I’d be amazed:
I absolutely laughed at some of the comments being made and also could not believe how much was left out.
For example, the level of profits the music industry is enjoying was something which was not reported on, something that can found with a two second search on Google using music industry profits.
Of course, maybe I’m biased and can just about come up with anything when trying to prove a point, but I feel that this episode of Panorama did not even attempt to scratch the surface of the argument being put forward, nor even question any of the figures being put to them.
