Growing has to stop at some point, or one gets nothing but monopolies.

Greed has to stop at some point, or there will be nothing left for anyone outside of the 'clique'.

Regardless of their content, their occasionally making good entertainment does not excuse their greed, nor their desire to 'have it all'.

Otherwise, why buy Warner? Why buy anything if you are 'the best'?

So yes... it is a very bad thing.
