Default Re: OT: Recording Industry Ripoff

Nothing to stop other people opening refineries. Or just buy shares in an oil firm if your that convinced they actually make money from petrol. That would be a bad thing to do by the way, check the published accounts and it's all upstream and oil production that makes money. Fuels (and that includes aviation gas, ships fuel oil, etc.) aren't that much, not in the scheme of things.

Does remind me though, start of Bush's term in office the emergency planning chappies produced the list of three worst potential threats to the US
1. Cat 5 hurricane on the US Gulf coast
2. Terrorist attack on New York
3. Huge quake in San Fransisco.

Frankly as yet another cat5 hurricane prepares to hit the gulf coast I'd be moving out of Frisco right now.
