I'm sympathetic to the folks who got ripped off. But I'd also like to point out that there is a really cool thing out there -- it's called Capitalism. It involves people producing goods and selling them to people who want them. This involves money changing hands as a way of rewarding producers. It's all strictly voluntary.

I'm wondering how many indie film producers really LIKE capitalism. I'm wondering how many fans of indie films really LIKE capitalism. And I'm wondering how many of these people REALLY like the alternative concept -- which is that everything ought to be free, and people will just magically make stuff for me, and I never have to actually pay for anything.

The Left like to use the word "sustainable". You want sustainable economies?? Go with Capitalism.

Certain supporters of an outfit called free media believes that copyright should be referred to as copyleft. They don’t believe in it because that is personal property. These people now have poistions in the Obama administration. If these people donated money to Obama or even voted for him as far as I am concened it serves them right(er left).

What *he* said.

Capitalism is sustainable; socialism is not.

Cheers!
