It seems to me that the issue at hand isn't Daumer's bonus at all. He's doing his job admirably! Making sure that all the right pockets are being greased in Washington is tough work. The real issue lies in Viacom's overall financial situation when compared to the fuss they've been making over piracy. I'm willing to bet that Viacom's financials don't tell a story of victimization.
Don't get me wrong...Piracy is wrong. But piracy isn't ever going to go away completely. However, as Apple showed, if you give people the right product for the right price in the right way, piracy becomes marginal.
