They represent their stock holders and not you. You are just a paycheck for them. They only care about extracting the most profit from you as fast as they can because they believe your band will only be famous for a minute.
So if you plan on a career as a musician then you need to find the long term solution.
With politicians it is always some "evil doers" or something bad that they must fight against. They need "crises" to do three things. Show the voters that they are working for them and to then use that as a "see the good I did" so reelect me platform.
The third is the opposite of what Descartes said "A state is better governed which has few laws, and those laws strictly observed.". They have to make laws or they will lose their power.
our lives. Those is the 10-30 age group depend on the Internet in much greater numbers than the other groups. So they don't want it messed with. Period.
All I can say is please just go away to all of the occupy people. The reason is that they just don't do anything. They have no cohesive message. They are all over the place and so all they do is show that they are nothing. But are protesting for everything.
If the SOPA/PIPA protest showed anything is that you have to pick your battles. Without doing that you are shooting a shotgun at a mountain and hoping that you can cause it to fall.

Mike really should have said that culture is more influenced by the internet that it is by Hollywood. Neither drives culture but both influence it. The internet does now more than Hollywood.

Do I think we should have to give attribution for each phrase or statement that was once said by someone else? No. But if I use a large part of what you said in my work then I should give you credit. Period. If you use several paragraphs from someone else's work do you not think you should give credit? And are you saying that the above work is not the equivalent to a couple of paragraphs?
It's all marketing. The skill is there, but it is mostly about marketing. A friend of mine (name withheld) that makes in the 6-7 figures for her art and she even admits that she makes those numbers because she knows how to work in the right circles and has a stellar PR manager. She thinks her art is creative (I don't really agree) but not worth the numbers she is getting.
and we are going to watch it on a TV with 70 whole inches of viewing pleasure. I hope the NFL complains because I would love to make a mockery of them. Plus I bet that if they go after me I can make some money from the crazy amount of press I will get as people gasp with shock at the whole matter.
