And I was thinking more the industry suits. The people whose names you don't know and you'd never recognize them in a restaurant, but they are the power brokers. They not only make decisions about who gets a recording contract, but they also say what goes on Youtube and what gets yanked (to the point where WB doesn't even let its own artists upload their work on Youtube, where it can be enjoyed for free) and they make the deals that obstruct innovation and ensure that consumers pay more for music, movies, and other media than they should, just so the companies can continue to make excessive amounts of money.

So, in that sense it reminds me of the nameless suits in the Wrong video. You know, not Mick, not the managers, but the corporate ones who decided to sue Whitney Harper for downloading music ($750 for each of the 37 songs she copied) onto her personal computer, to make an example of her and protect their royalties.

I like the use of "one take" here, because, as has been discussed, it's a play off of "toke." Furthermore, it refers to the popular phrase "one take" as in a movie scene, but ultimately it means one TAKE, one GRAB, one last act of avarice over the line. Very nice.

Fair enough.
