I would never in a million years trust the bankers. They are just far too corrupt, self serving and way too powerful.
The problem with the regulators is that they have no teeth, no real power to come down hard on those who do wrong, which I guess comes back to the bankers being far too powerful. It is a sad state when the regulated have power over the regulators.
Prince has done nothing of note since Purple Rain and even then I prefer a cover of that song by an artist called Aynsley Lister. Check it out, it's fantastic.
Attacking fair use exceptions for the blind is an excellent way of turning public opinion against copyright even more. This will speed up it's downfall and everyone will be better off. Except the lawyers, of course, but I am fine with that.
