The Metamorphosis of CBS The once-revered institution where I started my career has commenced a public makeover, and like my feelings towards most elective plastic surgery, it looks ridiculous.

Thoughts on the evolution of my former employer

Government bans ticket touting to protect fans from rip-off prices Music and sport fans will no longer be ripped off on the ticket resale market thanks to new measures making it illegal to resell tickets for live events above original cost

While that’s a great temporary (and individual) solution, perhaps it’s time we got serious about this problem.

Like, the UK has.
