This is a not-so-subtle way of saying "we own culture" by the elites who 'finance' the 'entertainment of the masses'.
Anyone who can get their bony fingers so far deeply entrenched into the fleshy government/tax-/levy bureaucracy and demand "fruitful payoff" in the form of public taxation is probably working for the Mob, not the Artists, and not content Creators, in general.
Entertainment industry, ruled by the Mob? Big surprise.
