http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6701863.stm "Social music site Last.fm has been bought by US media giant CBS Corporation for $280m (£140m), the largest-ever UK Web 2.0 acquisition."
*sigh*
That pisses me off. And to think I just bought a subscription to Last.fm a couple of months ago. Nothing stays independent anymore. Everything in the world is going to end up being owned by two or three massive corporations. I could go into some huge scenario about the end of modern society due to this corporate takeover, but I'll spare you.
