The fifth and seventh lines don't apply, but the sentiment is the same.
"It's left a trail of graft and slime,"
- Backroom deals between content creators and device makers that prohibit use of the content on anything other than the device.
- FCC being paid to create the Content Flag to enforce control that the broadcasters don't legally have.

"It's filled our land with vice and crime."
- HarryT would probably agree with this one. 8-)
