[LA.pm] contrasting London and LA

[David Pisoni]

Well, Citysearch == Ticketmaster (and many other brands.)  Valueclick  
seems to be as aggressive as the aforementioned companies as well,  
though they're a bit further afield.

What's wrong with the world? Lots of things, though I'm not sure this  
issue qualifies as something "wrong with the world."  Chock it up to  
the peculiarity of market forces?  That's all I got.
