I find it amusing when monopolists accuse other companies of being  
monopolists. http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=3072

If I had any nostalgia for the Bush years this would certainly trigger  
it.

excerpt:

The monopolists want to maintain pricing power, and offer to bring the  
content industries along for the ride, to give them a taste. Google,  
meanwhile, still sees itself as designing a rocket, caring little for  
where it comes down <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9HrZq7Ro>.  
That’s the user’s decision.

What Google, and all of us, most need to do is work that problem,  
finding business models through which content owners can profit while  
the end-to-end integrity of the search-and-find Internet is preserved.
