Okay, excuse me if I misconstrue the whole bottom line of this discussion.
(Ah, but how could I?!)
Yr raising a cloud of verbiage (not to mention taxing yr intellectual,
logic-based stock-pile) over what boils down to cashola vs art. Just
look at that interesting vocabulary you use, all in one paragraph no less...
"revenues," "stake," "market," "budgets," "self-serving," etc., etc...
Fffh, if I gave a shit, I guess I'd be a business major! So, excuse me if I
don't give yr rejoinders the proper respect you believe they deserve. It's
about the sound & the feel. Has nothing to do with the infringements of
pirates on royal vesicles (nor vice-versa for that matter).
As long as it's being done, it'll be available. I won't be sweating the
details.

Oh, & a non-comittal stance like yrs will guarantee you'll never go wrong,

Let me guess, it's either Business or Politics, right?
