Copyright Making Sure That MTV Remains an Irrelevant Relic

It's tragic to see how Music TeleVision was destroyed by vapid commercialization. A cultural icon was forced to blandify all of its content to appeal to the most common denominator and switch completely to totally unrelated genres in pursuit of viewership.

A microcosm of the decay of our culture. It's hard to have any kind of vibrance in a socioeconomic system which optimizes for efficiency and growth if the actors are not operating in good faith. No one seems to care about brands or images or building companies anymore - everything is purely margin driven and I blame MBA style thinking for eroding American culture and replacing it with conglomeritic corporate standins.
