Mayhap we can give Lord Mandalson a royal kick in the slats and royally piss off the Big 4 at the same time when they realize that their artists and the "so called" pirates and thieves are on the same page. Just watch your six when it comes to dealing with Politicians of any ilk, look at what happened to Caesar.

As in "We would really like a member of your tribe to be present so we can have an insight into the aboriginal perspective on these matters" -> "Senior tribe members recognised they had exhausted their natural resources and expressed no objection to the relocation of their reservation a few thousand miles north to the lush forests of Alaska" So, if you fancy a dance with the devil, go for it. PS make sure they pay your expenses.
