Cut the misogyny and we’ll extend musicians’ copyright

,----[ Quote ]
| David Cameron yesterday offered the music industry a unique deal – 
| cut the glorification of materialism, misogyny and guns in hits 
| and the next Conservative government would back an extension of 
| the copyright on sound recordings from the current 50-year 
| period to 70 years.

In the same way, there are attempts to 'tax' Free software using software
patents. Changes to the Internet hinder free speech. It's all related.
