^ That's true. One of the more deceptive arguments the "paper business" have made is that without them there woudl be no news. I don't know how true that is - but they do insist that they also fund local newspapers which are the ground level from where the news industry further up the hierarchy leeches from. Again, i don't know the validity of this argument.
Still, as a hypotethical, raf's hysterical reaction to proposed tax breaks akin to totalitarianiasm - what...the...fuck... as well as you going on about making the internet profitable for news - which no one has yet achieved.
In fact, i would say, even the TV news industry is under threat from the internet - as is TV overall, but then let's not get lost in THAT argument.
- They're not just tax breaks. They come with a restructurisation.
raf - really, and do you know what this "restructurisation" entails?Khurram
