Meaning that Red's only guilty of exaggeration rather than making shit up out of whole cloth.

Craig:
Are you telling me you've never made shit up for rhetorical effect on PA?Also, see this. Maybe only double, but remember, the buck stops at the top.

I'm going to say this once and once only: No one owes you a living.If you choose to take on a legendarily low paying profession and expect it to make you a living when your local catchment is a minority percentage of 4m people, on your own head be it.
For every JK Rowling, there are 10000 others writing in their off hours, hoping to make some pocket money. Sorry to disillusion you, but I live in the real world with real expectations.

Yes, but don't go attributing all the "good" stuff (e.g. the fall of Communism) to St Ronnie if you're not prepared to hear from the Devil's Advocate.

The only thing Reagan had going on was a very public face, a career of public performance and (sad to say) Alzheimer's.

Just seeing the letter DRM up there - there's no reason for copyright law to have anything to do with DRM.
Except, as I just remembered, that it already does. Section 226 of the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act 2008

OK, I'll give up, just go away and die - because very obviously what I do is not esteemed (sure as shit even now isnt paid for!) and isnt important in any way,
Way to personalise it, dude. I'm in the same boat, as a creator, but the way I see it, I can sit and whinge about a world that's unfair or I can get into it and see where the opportunities are. I choose the latter. And the only person that has to esteem it to give it value is you, mmkay?
*use* ANY of my characters and I'lll try to financially kill you -Mark, we are not talking series, we are talking charcaters that are known, unique, pertinent--
Sorry? Did I say I was going to use your characters or your work? Has anybody here said that? What part of "hypothetical discussion" did you not get?
If someone does do that, you have the law on your side to prosecute them. The sad fact is that won't stop them doing it, if they deem it worthwhile financially. And it doesn't matter whether it's a series (dunno where that came from) or a character, it's still covered

See previous comment ;-)

You're assuming they still have reputations...

From the Anchorage Daily News (and AP)
Sarah Palin questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain's decision to abandon efforts to win Michigan, a campaign move she only learned about Friday morning when she read it in the newspapers.
In an interview with Fox News Channel Friday, the Alaska governor said she was disappointed that the McCain campaign decided to stop competing in Michigan. In an indication that the vice presidential candidate had not been part of the decision, she said she had "read that this morning and I fired off a quick e-mail" questioning the move.
Left hand, right hand?
