guess who said this to whom:

>   "The good news is that you guys have managed to buy
>   every major legislative body in the planet, but you know
>   the problem is, the bad news is that you're up against
>   a dedicated foe that is younger and smarter than you are
>   and will be alive when you are dead, and has historical forces
>   on its side, and is using its technological acumen very adeptly to
>   ward off all your efforts of control and you're gonna lose that one.
>   I mean you're fifty-five years old and these kids are seventeen and
>   they're just smarter than you are. So you're gonna lose that one.
>   But the good news is you guys are mean sons of bitches and you've
>   been figuring out ways to rip off audiences and artists for centuries really,
>   and all you gotta do is get outta bed a little earlier in the morning for a spell
>   and you'll find new ways of doing it. I have every faith in you and you should
>   give yourselves credit, instead of howling that you're going to be victimized.
>   It's not like you to be victimized."
