is the title of a scathing critique by Marina Hyde in this morning's Guardian, in which she takes Bono and other wealthy musicians to taks for trying to extend the copyright on recorded music in the U.K. from the current 50 years to 95. Worth a read, particularly to get a sense of how the issue of "class" which is almost never raised in mainstream U.S. publications is a crucial part of the discussion of issues like this in Europe.
