Eg. Fox(tel) wants to discourage copyright infringement to funnel more people to their (fucking awful and expensive) pay TV option. End result: metadata retention legislation and site blocking dictates. A more modern example is the propping up of 'old media' by squeezing social networks for cash when they link to news articles. After a couple of years of that, I think FB have told them to go pound sand. Not sure the outcome of that yet.
