The business of video
Imagine, if you will, that you're a business owner. You sell the parts that are used to make widgets. You do this because all of the widget manufacturers realized it was more economical to buy from you, than to scour the world for all the little components of widgets. You have a good business; since widget parts are a renewable resource. You can get them almost anywhere in the world; and, in fact, this is good, because consumers of widgets often want exotic widgets.
Along comes a cartel, who contracts with you to produce widgets for them. That is, unlike the rest of your customers, they don't want a wide range of widget parts, they want actual widgets. But they have very specific demands for their widgets. None of the widget parts can be of a certain color, for instance. And they're going to pay you a lot of money. In fact, they get grumpy about any widgets having parts of that color, too. They'd like to know that you will try not to distribute widget parts of that color at all.
Sounds plausible, right? In fact, anyone who does business with a European multinational firm - like Ikea or Nokia - know that they enforce their philosophy of ethical business this way. But did you know that the Associate Press Television works this way? And that the preferential customers are a cartel of anti-Israel nations?
