What Bono actually said in the NYT column
A recently published provocative post on the blog "Censorship on the Internet", in the style of the "yellow press", attributed the desired author of the post to the meaning of the U2 musician and columnist New York Times - Bono.
However, it was possible to quickly find the original and I would like those who wish to familiarize themselves with what Bono actually said.
This Bono column is a brief overview of ten events of the past decade, including such as the “pollution charge” on a national scale, the fight against rotavirus and the future football championship in Africa. Among other things, the subject of free-of-charge content on the Internet was touched upon.

Caution! The only thing that protects the movies and television industry from the fate of the fallen music and newspaper business is the size of their files. The inevitable law of broadband Internet tells us that we are only a few years away from being able to download the entire 24 season in 24 seconds. Many will want it to be free.
The decade of music exchange has made it absolutely clear that people are hurting creators (music) - young, novice authors who can't sell tickets stadiums, or sell T-shirts, as much as some of the least attractive authors - such people are just “Robin Hoods on the contrary” which enrich the already rich Internet providers, swollen in their profits as much as the music business has lost.
“We're just the mail,” they tell us, “how do we know what's inside the package wrapped in brown paper?” But we know that America is making noble efforts to stop the spread of child pornography, I do not mean China’s shameful efforts to suppress online dissidents, all this means that it is entirely possible to track content.
Perhaps film giants will succeed where musicians have not reached it, and America will rally to protect the world's most creative economy, in which music, movies, television shows and video games occupy almost 4 percent of gross domestic product.
Note from myself: I am writing this not on behalf of a super popular and overpaid rock singer in this department or a famous actor; just find a new Cole Porter (Cole Porter) if he hasn’t quit writing jingles yet (short radio splash screen, cheap and low-paid work. Approx. transl.)
