So what? if someone wants to block the pipes with all their might, they deserve a greasy fat kick. These thousands of people deserve to be available on all media and paid fairly. Not blocked by some fat cow. Kim Dotcom made a proto version of sharepoint and dropbox and he was some of the grease to loosen these constipations. We still have a way to go to get artists paid, but we are getting there.
The "fat cow" is the one coordinating, assuming risk and making the content. If the content flops.. the workers just don't get paid while the "fat cow" looses money.
