End the Monopolies, End the Theft

It looks like Bell, Rogers, Videotron and a few others will be going after those selling Android TV boxes.

This is like trying to collect all the pollen in the world to prevent allergies.  It’s stupid and will fail.

Good luck, gang.

The more you squeeze, the more we slip through your fingers, to paraphrase Princess Leia.

Concerts are more popular – and lucrative – than ever.

The gaming industry is one of the most profitable forms of entertainment in the history of entertainment.

Movie houses are generating blockbuster after blockbuster.

And yes, television is experiencing a ‘golden age’ of content.

But Bell, Rogers, Videotron and others want Canadians to collectively stick their heads in the sand so they can’t see Bell, Rogers and Videotron whacking them on the ass and pinching their wallets.

Well, it’s time to say ‘screw the monopolies’.  As you can see from the above, consumers of entertainment are happy to pay for entertainment.

They’re just not willing to support bloated, inept and obtuse monopolies that get in our way of this content.

It’s time we got rid of the monopolies.  Tell them it’s time they stopped controlling our lives.

Break them up.
